About

There is high demand for innovative and well-informed sports coaches, with widely recognised qualifications, in all sectors of domestic and international sport.

Elite coaches, expert academics, and world-leading researchers have combined their knowledge and skills in forging this unique and enduring program that offers the latest and most innovative theory and practice.

This program provides practicing coaches with the opportunity to enhance and develop quality in their professional practice and prepare them for the world of high performance coaching.

Structure

Students will engage in learning experiences that promote and encourage extensive analysis and critical reflection on current coaching practices and contexts. They will develop expertise and knowledge in examining and enhancing both athletic and coaching performance across bio-physical (e.g. recovery, program management, rate limiters) and socio-cultural (e.g. quality coaching practices, emotional regulation, cultures of excellence) domains. Freedom is offered to investigate areas of specific significance to their coaching practice.
