Coaching (Certificate)

The endorsement in Coaching prepares students for entry-level coaching positions in a variety of youth and adult sport and recreation settings, including schools and colleges, community sports programs, and professional sports. Students will apply principles related to all aspects of coaching, including player, team, and administrative communication, leadership, and planning and concepts associated with an athlete’s physical, social, and psychological well-being during a two-credit internship (field experience) with a Coach or appropriate Athletics Administrator.

All endorsement courses must be complete or in-progress to enroll in the internship (HSCS 4499). The endorsement is open to all students, regardless of major.
