Athletic Coaching Minor

Through coursework and practice, students minoring in Athletic Coaching cultivate skills that transform them into effective team leaders and coaches. They supplement their careers and personal lives and enhance their sense of personal fulfillment at work and at play through leadership skills and confidence gained through a minor that’s more than just about coaching.
The Department of Sport and Health Sciences at Catawba College offers a minor in Athletic Coaching, which can complement any academic major. In particular, Catawba students majoring in the Exercise Science, Recreation, Sport Management, or Therapeutic Recreation degree programs can develop competency in a second area of interest by adding on the Athletic Coaching minor.
Athletic Coaching minors at Catawba are introduced to coaching techniques, game strategy, how to teach fundamental skills and techniques, and injury prevention and treatment from a coach's perspective.
