The World loves sport. The World Cup, European Champions League and Premier League attract millions of football fans worldwide.

And what cricket enthusiast can resist the Ashes series between England and Australia? That's just three of the many competitive sports that are played and watched around the world. Others include Rugby, American Football, Athletics and Gymnastics, to name just a few.
In addition to the elite professional sportsmen and women gracing our TV screens, adults and children participate in sports activities at grass roots level as amateurs.

And running enthusiasts train whatever the weather, for the London Marathon.
With more and more people taking up sport, there is a real need for sports coaches everywhere, with the ability to develop an individual's talent, or the man management skills to create a successful team. This Certificate in Sports Coaching will help you do this with eleven comprehensive lessons covering important subjects such as the coach/athlete relationship, motivation, coaching techniques applied to individuals and teams and the crucial differences in coaching at amateur, elite and professional levels.
