Overview
The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching degree is designed to develop your key coaching skills and behaviours and to understand how our coaching styles and approaches influence our athletes.
The course will develop skills such as long-term planning, reflective practice, conducting athlete needs analysis and understanding pedagogy in different sporting environments. For sports coaches to take a holistic approach to their athletes’ development we need to have an understanding the physiological, technical, psychological, and social factors that feed into the long term athlete development. As well as developing performance analysis skills and putting all our practical coaching skills into the real world, through our local clubs and organisations.
We will support you to achieve your career and study ambitions, which is why if you complete our Employability Plus Gold programme or Changemaker Gold certificate alongside your studies and if you haven’t secured full-time employment 12 months after graduating* we will secure a three – six month paid internship for you, or support you into postgraduate study.
*with a 2:2 degree classification or higher
