This course develops your skills to be an effective coach so you can help to unlock the potential in young people, adult participants and performers. We provide you with a broad study of sport coaching, allowing you to gain confidence and the ability to design, deliver and evaluate modern sport coaching interventions.

Employment as a graduate sport coach may be enhanced by Olympics 2012 and the changes in physical education and school sport provision.

During the course you learn about sport coaching in various practical and theoretical environments using Sheffield's world class facilities including the English Institute of Sport.

Areas of study include • how and what to coach • coaching specific populations • coaching in specific environments • science applied to coaching • technology and coaching • coaching research • fundamentals • training and conditioning • the context of sport coaching in the UK.

In the second year you take a work placement of up to six weeks. Typical placement opportunities exist in • sport colleges • schools • colleges and universities • national governing bodies • community coaching initiatives • private sport clubs.

We help you to find suitable placements locally, nationally and internationally. You can take independent study modules to contribute to your final grade.

Final year, options include more specific and applied coaching for children, active communities or high performance. You study coaching enterprise, which could help you to set up an independent coaching company.

A major part of your final year is to complete a sport coaching research project. This can be either a large piece of research in the area of coaching that interests you most, or a project developing an actual resource for an external client. Previous examples include

• talent identification for a football academy coach
• evaluating the success of a community coaching programme
• developing a coaching resource for disabled performers
• the effectiveness of verbal feedback for a club netball coach

Throughout your degree we encourage you to develop your coaching skills through volunteering and gain accredited coaching qualifications outside your course. 'Ready, Steady, Coach' is our successful in-house volunteer programme designed for you.

We also deliver training, conditioning and coaching support to talented and world class athletes and regional professional sports teams. Sport coaching students are recruited and trained on volunteer intern schemes which support this, and the delivery of The Active Universities Programme at Sheffield Hallam.

We have good links with the local and national sports leadership initiatives and active lifestyle agendas which you, as a sport coaching student, could be involved in as a volunteer.
