COACHING A good team needs a good coach— and Maranatha is committed to training men and women to be effective coaches who know how to promote Christlikeness through athletics. In this program, you focus not only on how to have a winning season, but also on training athletes to model character traits such as faithfulness, commitment, and perseverance. Dedicated instructors address how to challenge athletes to excel in sports as well as godliness. The Coaching minor qualifies you to teach basic skill development in at least one sport of your choice (baseball, basketball, softball, soccer, or volleyball). You also gain an understanding of team organization, anatomy and physiology, coaching techniques, conditioning procedures, and first aid and safety.
