Module 3

The third module enables the coach to develop their coaching skills during an apprenticeship in their respective sport. The apprenticeship is designed so that the candidates have the opportunity to shadow a U.S. National Team coach or an equivalent high-level club or university coach. The third module will give coaches the opportunity to share and learn from new methods or applied technologies being utilized in their sport and acquire knowledge and information that can be shared upon returning to their country to further develop their sport. Candidates will continue to work on their projects during the apprenticeship and communicate with their assigned tutor. Upon completion of the apprenticeship, the candidates will be required to prepare a brief report on their experience.
