Physical coaching 15 competence points (osp)

Study how to plan, deliver and evaluate physical coaching in a practical, hands-on way. On the course, you will learn to carry out a sport analysis and an athlete analysis for physical training, to test athletes and to analyse test results. Based on these, you will draw up an individual training plan.

You will examine the physical coaching process and evaluate how well it has worked, using feedback from the athlete and your own self-reflection. The course is delivered as blended learning, combining online teaching, in-person teaching, independent study and use of the VK-Kustannus e-library.

Who is it for:
