Results
Project finished after six months, in juli 2009
A total of 12 service users successfully reached their goal (8 were needed to make the project successful). After 1 year 9 service users still active in sports
Experiences
Individual coaching is very important Trust and sense of security
Right moment? Negative self image, and low energy level make it
difficult to be assertive. Mood changes can play a role as well
Financial aspects
Good connections with treatment teams are crucial!
Continuation
The project still exists, but in modulated form
Connections medical treatments are stronger
