Additional Information:This module is designed to develop students' understanding and ability to critically analyse conceptual and applied concepts in psychology in football. Students will be given an understanding of different philosophical approaches utilised to support the development of football players in an elite level football context. A range of applied assessment techniques will also be examined and utilised to collect a range of baseline data when working with players. The data will described and evaluated during lectures, seminars and field-based practicals. The module will combine a balance of conceptual and theoretical assessment measures that help identify the vocationally relevant process skills of an applied sports psychologist and wider transferable skills. There will be formative and summative opportunities to communicate and receive feedback on theoretical and applied process knowledge in psychology.
