Course Overview

The science of sports coaching is a rapidly growing specialism within the sports industry, thanks to the additional investment and increased awareness of this industry in recent years. There are many skills needed to be a successful sports coach or to work within sports development that you will gain from this Foundation Degree in Sport.
