Following analysis of the role of the strength and conditioning coach, this unit will develop the communication skills of the student and provide strategies for effective communication to a variety of sports-based roles and athlete types. You will explore aspects related to verbal, non-verbal, written and visual communication and how they can be applied to athletes from diverse backgrounds and sports. Using reflective practice, you will establish your current communication style and evaluate its effectiveness against others. This unit will provide the framework for leadership and effective communication to be applied throughout your coaching career.

This unit uses online meetings in real time using the Virtual Room in your UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.
