| Description | The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching degree at Cardiff Metropolitan University aims to develop critical individuals who appreciate the social, relational and dynamic nature of sport coaching. In doing so, the degree course challenges students through a variety of learning activities, including seminars, practical coaching sessions, and work related opportunities. The purpose is to move beyond merely the technical and tactical content of coaching in order to explore how coaches shape the learning and development of others. As such, the indicative content includes practice design, power, care, identity, ethics and micro-politics. At Cardiff Metropolitan University, we challenge assumptions to develop knowledge and understanding of how coaching is fundamentally people work. In this regard, our student-coaches are encouraged to examine how coaches negotiate, manage and orchestrate the sport performances of others.
The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching degree provides you with a range of practical and theoretical sessions to help you develop an understanding of how to construct and deliver creative, innovative and caring learning environments for a variety of different sport performers. You’ll be provided with opportunities to coach peers and external partners to help refine your coaching knowledge and practice in a range of contexts. The staff supporting you throughout your degree have extensive experience working across a range of settings, such as community and participation sport, professional sport, and world-class competitions. In addition to being active researchers at the cutting edge of the field, a number of staff work closely with National Governing Bodies as consultants, coaches, and/or coach educators. Our staff are a major strength of the programme at Cardiff Met and they will help guide you during your degree as you wrestle and get to grips with the complex nature of coaching. The overriding aim of the programme is to develop your knowledge and understanding, challenge the way you think, and how you act as a sport coaching student. We want to equip you with the skills and support your aspirations to make meaningful contributions in your future roles and careers. | | |
