The Coaching Process

A minimum of a second class Honours degree (2.1 preferred) or equivalent in a relevant subject. You must also have five years' appropriate work experience in coaching, and evidence of successful completion of sport-specific coaching qualifications is expected.

The objectives of the module are to:

• investigate and critically appraise existing models of the coaching process.
• use established methods to analyse personal practice and compare with coaching models.
• reflect on and critically evaluate coaching behaviours and interpersonal nature of coaching using appropriate research and theory.
• construct working models of coaching process.

The module is delivered entirely online through pre-recorded presentations, learning materials, asynchronous discussion and tutorials.

Assessment will be a practical analysis task and evidence-guided professional reflective essay.
