This course offers an intensive, four week summary of the core content of the BSpC and will focus on Exercises Sciences including Anatomy, Physiology, Motor Learning and Biomechanics, Psychology, Learning, Athlete Centred Leadership. The School has previously carried out other, intensive short courses in at national and international level, including recently for the High Performance Coaches of the national New Zealand Cricket Association. practice or Practicum will be a part of the course and will facilitate the development of critical thinking and self-reflective analysis using video of their coaching as a tool.
