Do you enjoy helping others to improve their health, wellbeing or sporting performance?

Do you wonder how athletes prepare for competitions? Have you ever wondered how people acquire skills and how you should teach them to improve performance?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the right course for you. We offer a broad-based course that gives you the opportunity to explore a range of topics within sport, health and wellbeing, including anatomy, coaching and leadership, fitness training, sports development and practical sports performance.

Throughout this course, the emphasis will be on developing your theoretical knowledge of sport and health, practical skills in coaching and leadership, and the ability to support and develop the performance of others.
