The coaches undertaking learning at Leeds Beckett

This new, multi-sport cohort has come together to share a wealth of experiences from professional and Olympic sport, and to work through a programme of learning and development, embedded within the new and ground-breaking MSc in Coach Development.

UK Sport’s Coach Development Practitioners support the learning and development of coaches in the UK high-performance sport community. They graduated from UK Sport’s flagship development programme for Coach Developers, ‘Supporting Coaching in High-Performance Sport,’ in April 2023.

The pioneering programme was developed by Dr Andrew Gillott at UK Sport and was established to meet the learning and development needs of Coach Development Practitioners who will support world-class coaching beyond the 2024 Paris ad 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympic Games.

Over the two-year programme, coach developers engaged in field-based activities in Olympic sport settings, supported by Dr. Gillott and Dr. Bob Muir from the Carnegie School of Sport. Combining field-based work with supervisory practice, and individual, work-integrated learning, Supporting Coaching in High-Performance Sport was a further, important step in an award-winning programme of learning and development for Olympic coach developers.

The Coach Developers from the Professional Game Team (PGT) in Football began at the Carnegie School of Sport in 2017, joining 25 other PGT colleagues for the school’s landmark Post Graduate Diploma in Coach Development.

Designed by Dr Bob Muir, Dr Andy Abraham, and Dr Dave Piggott, this was the first post-graduate coach development qualification in the UK, offering embedded in-situ support for front-line coach developers working through England’s 92 professional football clubs. The course was described by the external examiner, Dr Ed Cope, as the “leading programme in its area and one that breaks new ground.”

The new cohort will work together to complete the PG Diploma in Coach Development and then have the opportunity to progress on to the new MSc Coach Development, which launches in October later this year.
