You are quite right, there is no mention of mental skills in the coaching framework, but then, there is no mention of the physical skills either. The framework task (as I understand it) is going through a process of a) identifying how archers develop, b) identifying the support they need to do so, c) developing a coaching structure that fits these needs.
The NSG are responsible for the content of coaching courses, and they appear to understand the importance of the mental side of things - at least, those that I know keep saying it should be taught much earlier in the coaching process.
