Aims
The module will focus predominantly on the development of students’ knowledge of practical coaching and theories relevant to coaching, and sport development policy and practice. Students will be expected to contextualise their theoretical knowledge to the development of professional coaching skills within relevant disciplines (e.g. coaching, management, and sport science). The module will also explore the opportunities for students to transfer their knowledge of coaching and coaching skills to different sporting populations (e.g. disabilities, school settings) and coaching contexts. The practical coaching will incorporate the use of coaching models (Dynamical System Theory, the Coaching Process Model) to provide inclusive and innovative learning environments for the participants both individually and as a unit.
