Sport Coaching

About this course

Sport coaching is the practice of helping athletes and participants develop their physical capabilities, skills, mental resilience, and enjoyment of sport, and it requires a combination of subject knowledge, interpersonal skill, and the ability to apply evidence from sport science to real coaching challenges. Effective coaching matters not only in elite performance but across community sport, educational settings, and the growing range of physical activity interventions used to promote public health. This three-year full-time BSc at Birmingham Newman University offers a research-informed route into coaching, teaching, and performance support. You will explore how coaching theory and sport science combine in professional practice, developing an evidence-based approach to supporting others in diverse settings, from schools and community clubs to performance academies.
