Brief Description | The aim of this module is to provide the student with an applied setting from which to discuss theoretical concepts from a range of scientific backgrounds. The module builds upon established theory in disciplines such as physiology, biomechanics and psychology whilst examining the applications of such disciplines within coaching contexts. Throughout the module, various social concepts and lenses will be utilised in order to allow students to gain a greater understanding of why they coach the way they do, and how their personal performance impacts not only on the activity but also the individuals that they work with. The module further empowers students to cypher meaning from the topics mentioned and challenges them to think about their personal practice in light of such information. |
