Course Overview

MSc High-Performance Sports Coaching is designed for those passionate about creating high-performance sport coaching environments who want to enhance the development of the performers and athletes they work with. It can be studied full-time or part-time. It will improve your knowledge as a sports coaching practitioner by extensively broadening your understanding of the theories and concepts underpinning high-performance settings.

Behind every athlete, team, or club lies a coach or group whose primary aim is to optimize performance. The processes and principles behind this operation are essential ingredients individuals must acquire to master their craft as coaches. Therefore, before the success of the individuals or team can be acknowledged, a coach must learn more about the art of reflection, identity, and leadership and how their actions and behaviors help to shape the creation of high-performing environments for the athletes they work with.

The course is primarily designed for graduates already in sports coaching roles. On the MSc High-Performance Sports Coaching, you'll critically examine your practices and processes, enabling you to develop your identity as a coach further, enhance leadership skills, and create high-performing environments. The flexible nature of the course means that you can maintain your existing coaching practice, study face-to-face and online, and access world-class campus facilities at the Marjon Sport and Health center.
