BSc (Hons) Sports Coaching (Top up)

This module aims to provide you with opportunities& nbsp;to hone your skills& nbsp;to conduct inclusive coaching sessions. You will have opportunities to explore different approaches to coaching and work with a range of participants in various settings and capacities. You will apply newly acquired sports science and pedagogy knowledge in sessions that& nbsp;are& nbsp;underpinned by your coaching philosophy. You will practice reflection to enable continuing& nbsp;professional development and continue to develop skills in mentoring as well as sports coaching.

The aim of this module is to challenge students to use analytical and problem-solving techniques to deal with complex and multi-dimensional sports coaching related problems.

The module intends to allow flexibility when further developing your applied skills relevant to the& nbsp;sport& nbsp;and physical activity industry. You will have opportunities to conduct self evaluation and identify a focus area for development (coaching, analysis, sport science support, etc). You will have face to face and online learning opportunities, but the majority of your work will be conducted in a placement. Your placement and chosen area of development should be discussed with your module tutor& nbsp;who will facilitate the process and support you when needed in your independent work.& nbsp;Much of your work on this module will contribute to the Wolverhampton Enterprise and Employability Award.

The Professional Project is the culmination of your undergraduate degree course which will enable you to work independently in an area that excites and interests you. The Professional Project enables you to engage with a substantial programme of independent study which allows you to define and explore in some depth a topic relating to your course or intended future employment, as well as developing advanced skills in managing an extended project. The Professional Project provides experience of critically evaluating and reflecting upon the particular methodologies of your subject area. The project may include practical elements, dependent upon the subject discipline being studied. For students continuing from level 5 within the Institute of Sport, a project proposal will have been completed during a Level 5 module. The module is year-long and it will be your focus while you participate in the taught content during Block 1 which will lead to your submission of an ethics application (proposal). By the end of Block 4 you will submit both a written submission (project) and for participation at the school of sport student conference, either a either a mind map or pictorial representation of your project, which you will decide upon in discussion with your project supervisor. The presentation will be delivered to a small group of your peers and your supervisor/ second marker at the Department of Sport Student Conference (in the style of a viva voce). This should be considered a professional celebration of your studies moving into your employment. We therefore advise that you choose a topic that fuels your passions and interests, and that is relevant to your desired career path(s). You will work in partnership with your supervisors, and with their facilitation work towards a memorable end to your undergraduate studies.
