Description
The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching course focuses on the application and dissemination of knowledge in the practical coaching environment. Specifically, it will provide you with opportunities to gain a better understanding of the socially contested nature of the coaching process. You will engage with a range of theories which inform sports coaching and you will develop a critical insight into the application of this knowledge through work based learning experiences. Furthermore, you will be able to apply your knowledge gained from other key disciplines such as: physiology, biomechanics, psychology, ethics, cultural studies, performance analysis and adapted physical activity to a variety of contextual issues in sports coaching.
These elements give the course a unique flavour mixing traditional knowledge and skills with contemporary socio-pedagogical approaches. The practical and contextual knowledge you develop within this programme will allow you to evaluate and modify your own behaviour and that of the performers you may work with in a range of sports. It will also enable you to appreciate the role of the professional coach and to understand the qualities needed to coach effectively.
