Sports Explore Day blog
On the 30th January our sports department hosted a Sports Explore Day attended by students from Solihull Sixth Form College. This event provided important knowledge to our students in what our Sports courses entail and demonstrated the state of the art facilities on offer to students to use which would provide insight into the Sporting industry.
During the Explore day, students would undertake various activities which highlighted the varied sports courses on offer at BCU. Students were required to use case studies to plan coaching sessions. This task was important in allowing student to understand key skills that are important in the role of coaching such as communication, planning and organisation. Whilst other tasks included creating protein shakes which highlighted the importance of nutrition when working with sporting professionals.
By attending this Sports explore day, the Year 12 students have gained a valuable insight into the different requirements and skills needed pursue careers in Sports Coaching and Exercise Science.
