Psychology of Coaching

The demand for quality, well-rounded coaches and strength coaches continues to grow each year. Sport leaders need to understand how to motivate and lead athletes, teach technical, tactical, physical, and mental skills, and navigate complex environments with varying stakeholders. Our pioneering 16 credit specialized graduate certificate in the Psychology of Coaching prepares students for these responsibilities. Our college specializes in the psychological and sociological aspects of sport and athletic performance, delivering novel practical tools and a unique experience to our student-coaches. The specialized graduate certificate complements students who have a strong background in exercise science or kinesiology, and extends the education of those looking to understand the relational and cultural aspects of people in sport.
