This approach allows students to build practical experience in a supportive environment while also developing communication, organisation, reflection, and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n\n<p>As the programme progresses, students will also have opportunities to engage with community groups, such as local primary schools, where they can begin to consider age-related coaching, curriculum needs, and inclusive practice.<\/p>\n\n<p>Assessment on the programme is designed to reflect real coaching and coach education practice, rather than relying on exams. Students can expect applied tasks such as creating coach education resources, linking practical work to academic theory, and exploring coaching structures and curriculum design.<\/p>\n\n<p>Overall, the teaching approach is interactive, practical, and student-centred, helping students connect theory with real-world coaching contexts and prepare for future careers in coaching, sport development, the wider sport industry, or further teaching.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<details\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-caret\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<summary\n\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\tTeaching team\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-caret\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\"><path d=\"M310.6 246.6l-127.1 128C176.4 380.9 168.2 384 160 384s-16.38-3.125-22.63-9.375l-127.1-128C.2244 237.5-2.516 223.7 2.438 211.8S19.07 192 32 192h255.1c12.94 0 24.62 7.781 29.58 19.75S319.8 237.5 310.6 246.6z\"\/><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dr-richard-handyside-head-of-subject\">Dr Richard Handyside \u2013 Head of Subject<\/h3>\n\n<p>Dr Richard Handyside leads Sport at Birmingham Newman University and supports students across the subject area.
