The rapid growth of the football sector has created many opportunities to become a sports professional in an expanding, borderless industry. This course prepares you to work as a skilled coach across a range of football-related settings.
On the course, you learn a range of coaching skills enabling you to deliver and plan training sessions relevant to team/player standard. You also learn to evaluate the performance of a player, team or match and have a range of strategies for their development. You can put your learning into practice in football-related scenarios and realistic simulations.
The course offers a broad overview of sport and the football industry in the first year before focusing on coaching, when it covers areas such as performance analysis (player and match); coaching alternative populations; performance coaching; player potential and development; and psychology for football.
We will consider you as an individual and take into account all elements of your application, not just your qualifications. We are looking for breadth and depth in your current studies and enthusiasm for the subject you wish to study.
