AC5000-8 - Leadership in Coaching Today’s Athlete

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

Coaches face a wide array of tough decisions and need effective leadership and management skills to plot a successful course for their schools. In this course, students will investigate the methods, principles, and decision-making responsibilities of a coach. Through readings, interactive discussions, and independent activities, students will have the opportunity to equip themselves with skills in leadership, management, communication, and curriculum development, and they will apply these skills by taking on the role of a head coach and tackling some of the problems involved in coaching student athletes in today’s society.
