Coaching

You love

• kids
• sports
• teaching

and that just might mean you should be an athletic coach.

This certificate goes well with any major, but probably most commonly pairs with

• Teacher Education 
• Health and Physical Education

Not only will you get “Coaching 101” (i.e., Principles of Coaching: planning, organizing, planning and directing team functions), the certificate includes basic courses in

• functional anatomy
• first aid, safety and CPR
• prevention and care of injuries
• essentials of strength training and conditioning

plus an internship.

After you complete Bethel’s Coaching curriculum, you’re eligible for certification through the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA-CSCS). This requires payment of a fee included in Bethel’s Coaching program.
