Description	Developed as a follow on to the ‘Introduction to Applied Sports Science and Junior Development’ module in Year 1, this module continues to develop the role of sports science within a coaching setting through the integration of theory and application. Students will identify key motor control theories and apply them to coaching situations, and discuss physiological, psychological and nutritional concepts related to improved golf performance. Psychological components of coaching skills to create a self-determining environment will be analysed and reflected upon and the use of basic mental skills will be introduced. Students will be encouraged to take opportunities to apply each area of study to their own coaching and job role with a specific focus towards recreational club golfers.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module, students should be able to: Discuss the application of motor control and motor learning within the role of golf coaching and the links to player performance. Recognise and discuss the anatomical and physiological demands of golf and their links to golf coaching and player performance. Discuss the application of psychological considerations for golf coaching and their links to player performance.
