    Overview

    A theoretical analysis of what it means to be a quality coach and in doing so engage with contemporary debates around leadership, mentoring and ethics.

    In SPEX 307 students will be introduced to concepts such as leadership, ethics, mentoring and coaching as they are understood within a sports coaching context. Yet these terms are also used outside of sport coaching. For this reason, in SPEX 307, students will develop an understanding of how these concepts can be transfered across a wide range of work environments.
