MISSION
THE MISSION OF THE USOC AND UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE'S (UD) International Coaching Enrichment Certificate Program is to provide national level coaches and those responsible for the development of the sport national coaching structures in their countries with a practical program orientated towards developing proficiency in the areas of sport sciences, talent identification, athlete development, coaching education, coaching management, grass roots sport development and ethical aspects of coaching at all levels of competition and across multiple sports. The focus of the program will not only include training participants to identify and develop athletes, but will provide the participants with the skills and competencies needed to educate aspiring coaches in their home country. The program will present theoretical foundations and practical applications for the further growth of sport and the Olympic ideals within their home country. The intended outcome is for ICECP participants to return to their countries to not only serve as coaches within their respective sports but to also serve as foundation builders for future coaches and athletes while spreading the Olympic spirit.
