PED 325 - Culture Creation in Athletic Coaching

Coaching is no longer limited to just the ability to teach athletes the necessary skills they need to successfully score or complete an athletically related task. Coaches must be capable of not only that but creating a strong, positive culture within their team and program. In this course, students will work to master the essentials of teaching sports skills while developing the ability to create the type of culture they want within their own program or team. Students will work collaboratively and independently to tap into their leadership skills and potential, while learning different strategies that can be used to build and develop team culture and comradery. The course will focus mainly on team sports but will discuss individual sports as well.
