Coventry City FC’s first team squad began preparations for their return to the Premier League in Coventry University’s high-tech sports science labs. Undergraduate students from our Sport and Exercise Science, Sport Therapy and Sport Coaching programmes were central to the delivery of the assessments. First year modules consist of fundamental practical and theoretical approaches to sports coaching. The coaching process, which includes planning, delivery, reflection, and various academic approaches, will be introduced. In addition, you will gain knowledge of bio-psycho-social, which will help inform a broad understanding of the needs and wants of the individual or group. You will develop your discipline-specific study skills and professional practice. A key aspect is acquiring the necessary skills base and understanding the process of practical coaching in preparation for year two study, where these skills will be developed further. Explore the core skills and ideas that help you plan and deliver practical coaching sessions. Learn to think about who you’re coaching, what activity they’re doing, and how to coach effectively.
