Sport Coaching Concentration
The Sport Coaching Concentration is designed for leaders in school sport, club sports
and camps, and other physical activity delivery systems (athletic leagues, YMCA, parks
and recreation, etc.). This program offers graduate candidates a strong background
in the academic areas that inform effective and positive coaching. The framework is
that coaches are teachers foremost, and that learning to coach is an on-going, lifelong
pursuit. The research and theory examined and critically considered in the program
provides graduate candidates with the tools and skills to successfully pursue this
very important work of committing to reflective practice as a sport coach.
