Program Description
The sports coach has a diverse role, working with elite athletes, guiding teams of young people, or working with community groups to assist the health of the local population. Someone interested in this role will enjoy working with people of all ages, shapes and sizes to develop their physical and mental health, assisting them in reaching their physical peak.
Middlesex University believes in building a portfolio of practical skills, which means a large part of their studies will be spent practicing in the Allianz Park facility. By the end of the course students will take part in more than 150 hours of clinical practice, working with a range of athletes across a number of sports.
Upon completion of the course, students will be be armed with a range of knowledge including coaching, physical education, sports psychology and more. They’ll learn how to assess fitness, well-being and nutrition, as well as the basic effects of pharmacological agents on performance and health.
