The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching degree at Cardiff Met aims to develop your knowledge and understanding of the dynamic and complex interactions which exist within coaching. You’ll engage in a variety of learning activities and work related opportunities that expose and refine your ability to become more critical of coaching practice. At Cardiff Metropolitan University, we get beneath the surface and appreciate sport coaching for the social and relational activity that it is. We hone in on the people that are involved in coaching and what happens between them. It is not enough to only know about the technical components of a sport and we can’t accept the traditional perspective that a coach simply ‘transmits’ knowledge to athletes and that they learn as a consequence. The reality of the job is that it is not that clean cut and coaches do much more than this to help athletes learn. For example, coaches need to understand (and then negotiate, manage or orchestrate) the influence that they have on others. Similarly, they also need to realise the influence that other people, existing cultures and the coaches own histories have upon their coaching practice. Throughout the BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching degree you’ll explore and then develop your knowledge of the complex, messy and social nature of sport coaching.The BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching degree also ensures that you are provided with a range of practical and theoretical sessions to help you develop an understanding of how to construct and deliver creative and innovative learning environments with different sport performers. You’ll be provided with opportunities to coach peers and external partners to help refine you coaching knowledge and practice in a range of contexts. Our staff will work with you and support you throughout your degree as you wrestle and get to grips with the complex nature of coaching. Our aim and purpose is to help create a shift in your knowledge, the way you think and how you act as a sport coaching student. We want to equip you with the skills, knowledge and understanding to help you make meaningful contributions in your future roles and careers.
