Sports Coaching
A coaching-centered path focused on pedagogy of sport, session design, and athlete development.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Coaching majors sometimes rely on playing career alone. Employers want session plans, age-group pedagogy, and safety/safeguarding awareness. A microcycle and athlete development notes beat medals list without teaching. Federation certifications help — still show practice evidence. Campus and academy screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — session plan, testing log, event run-sheet, or internship note — you can defend in depth.
