There's more to a Sports Coach than meets the eye

Sports Coaches have an integral role in communicating with many people such as family members, workplace employees, associated professions such as doctors, physiotherapists, sports psychologists and nutritionists and, in many cases, members of the public and fans. It is, therefore, a huge responsibility to work as a Sports Coach, but with responsibility comes REWARD.

Why Study Sports Coaching?

Sports Coaching is a versatile career path

  • Work with amateurs or professionals
  • Work with children or adults
  • Work with people in need e.g. disabled, disadvantaged, elderly

Sports Coaching has versatile hours - think about the possibilities...

  • You may work full e.g. at a sports club or school
  • You may work part time e.g. working for different organisations
  • You may start a small business e.g. offering after school sports clinics
  • You may volunteer your skills e.g. for a local social sporting team

Sports Coaching is FUN
