Sports Training

Do you have leadership qualities, are you self-confident, do you want to feel excitement in competitions, the magic of sports success of your charges? ... choose the Sports Training programme!

The Sports Training study programme is intended for those who would like to work in the field of sport of the young, quality sport, top sport and sport for the disabled. Sports Training involves a systematic pedagogic process, similar to that in Sports Education, the only difference being that the didactic principles, forms and methods of work are much more adapted to a homogeneous group of those exercising (from the point of view of skills, motor abilities, physical characteristics, and particularly from the point of view of motivation). The trainer leads the person who exercises through a long-lasting training process that includes all the levels of a teaching process: planning the work, teaching new contents, consolidation, monitoring, testing, competitions, etc. An important characteristic of a trainer’s work is individualization, since in comparison to a teacher at school, a trainer must adapt his/her work to those exercising to a much greater extent. A student gains the most recent theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for planning, organizing, leading and analysing the training process in top sport at all levels and in the area of the service sector. The graduates can seek employment in clubs, societies, sectoral associations, various sports organizations, private sector, etc.

The study programme lasts for 3 years.
