This qualitative study was designed to explore the mental skills and techniques as well as their development in the extreme sport of wingsuit flying. Few previous studies have looked at the mental skills and techniques used by extreme sport athletes and no study inquired into their development. Six experienced wingsuit pilots were interviewed according to a narrative paradigm. The stories shared by the pilots reveal that they apply a wealth of mental skills and techniques known in the field of sport psychology, both for optimal performance and for safe practice. There was particular emphasis on the mental skill of self-awareness. Several sources and methods for the development of mental skills and techniques were identified, mainly outside the formal mental skills training mode. Moreover, pilots shared their mindset for safe and optimal long-term progression and participation in the sport of wingsuit flying. All themes are illustrated through narrative accounts and interpreted according to both second and third wave cognitive-behavioral approaches to sport psychology. The findings illustrate the value of including extreme sports in sport psychology research and add to the growing body of literature that depicts the extreme sport athlete as a dedicated professional athlete. Suggestions are offered for wingsuit pilots, practitioners, and future research.

Cote & Gilbert, (2009), have described coaching in the participation domain as the act of coaching participants that are less intensely engaged in sport than performance orientated athletes. This form of coaching is a popular activity occurring in community settings such as schools or sport clubs, and it is often undertaken with a broad range of social and health outcomes in mind. The experiences and practices of the large army of 'community coaches' 1 have been under explored in comparison to those of elite performance coaches who focus on competitive success and dominate much academic research. This study focuses on the little known world of the community coach. Drawing on the philosophy of phenomenologists such as Husserl, and in particular the methodology of , the study explored the lived experiences of a single case study community coach. Derived from semi-structured interviews and in keeping with Van Manen's methodology, findings are presented in a narrative format. The narrative describes the 'lifeworld' of the coach and seeks to identify the 'essential features' of community coaching in this case. Specifically, the narrative illustrates a dichotomy in the lifeworld of the coach; between a frenetic practical delivery mode visible in the public arena and a 'hidden' largely unknown, private world used predominantly for planning and organising. For this case study coach, the essence of community coaching lay in two complementary activities; planning and then delivering fun based activities that achieved social, health and sporting outcomes. Additionally, interacting with others such as parents, carers, and teachers was identified as an essential feature of this coach's experience.
