Your career Sports Coaching helps your development by improving your 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.
This programme really helped me decide on the career I wanted. It was a great experience and the lecturing team were really helpful.
