SPHE418  - Coaching Strategy Concepts

View Academic Calendar
 

This course will introduce the strategy involved in coaching a sports team. Coaching requires a focused leadership to direct individuals into playing for a common cause. Coaches must determine the short and long term goals throughout the course of the season and off-season. Many hurdles, barriers, and circumstances develop through the season that, with the right tools and strategies, a coach can direct a team towards a common goal. Many strategies will be examined from some of the best minds in coaching. Course objectives will be reached by means of selected case studies and focused assignments, reinforced by research done through coaching references.
