The world of Sport has many benefits in modern society. The role that sport plays in developing physical and mental wellbeing is well documented and is becoming an increasingly important role for coaches at all levels. The UK Government, UK Sport and Sport England have aligned their various strategies to place the coach as a key figure in providing support, growth and development to a wide range of people at various stages of their lifespan. Coaching is Changing and the Masters Course in Sports Coaching focuses on the many different roles of the modern coach operating in different domains of sport. The structure of the course allows key theory to be covered before the Professional Placement and Project which will allow a deeper contextualisation; the University Professional franchises (Basketball and Netball) will allow placement opportunities over an extended period of time; the University reputation with Governing Bodies and Disability Sport specialisms.
