Coaching Minor
The Sport Coaching and Human Performance minor is designed for those students looking to enter sport coaching and/or strength and conditioning coaching at the secondary, collegiate, or private practice setting. The minor will provide the background and application of coaching theory needed to become a successful coach.
The requirements in the minor also satisfy the state of Oklahoma’s requirements for coaching at the secondary education level. Additionally, upon completion of the course work students will have the necessary background to sit for the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam, a professional certification that is the standard for human performance for coaches at any level of competition.
