MSC C60712 Sport Coaching Practice,
MSC C60724 Sport Coaching Practice
The module adopts an applied focus to examine how performance analysis and skill acqusition concepts can be integrated into and support the coaching process.
Employing a hybrid approach, students will be introduced to a range of performance analysis and skill acqusition principles, before applying these in practice to effectively quantify and analyse performance, and inform and reflect on coaching practice.
Students are tasked with quantifying physical, technical, and tactical aspects of performance in order to faciliate athlete and team development.
Students will also develop their skills to capture real-time data during performance and enhance their knowledge and understanding of how one might adjust the coaching practice accordingly depending on the desired output/aims for that session.
As a result of the above, students will develop the necessary skills to feedback and communicate effectively with key stakeholders in the coching process, from athletes and coaches, to the wider sports science team.
The aim of this module is to highlight the importance of performance analysis and skill acqusition principles in quantifying performance to support athlete and team development within the coaching process.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Critically evaluate current research and techniques in performance analysis and skill acquisition and apply these to practice environments within the coaching process.
2. Design and develop evidence-based, sport-specific performance analysis interventions based on a critical needs analysis.
3. Demonstrate knowledge, mastery, and critical understanding of performance analysis software packages to analyse performance from a physical, technical and tactical perspective.
4. Demonstrate critical reflective and problem-solving skills in performance analysis, skill acquisition and coaching.
5. Demonstrate effective communication skills to convey information in written and oral format to key stakeholders within the coaching process.
