Your career Sports Coaching helps the development of individuals by improving their performance. Coaching can be influential on a number of different levels, from helping a six year old to learn the basics of how to throw a ball, to guiding experienced performers through an international competition. Coaches are needed at every level of sport participation. Jobs are available in schools, National Governing Bodies, councils and sports clubs.
The lecturers on this course are fantastic. We also had a chance to speak to and learn from world champion athletes. Stacey Boxall
