Master’s in Coaching Education
Ohio University’s online master’s degree in Coaching Education program is designed to prepare graduates to become successful long-term coaches at all levels of athletics.
The master’s degree in Coaching Education curriculum will take students 2 years to complete. Students are required to complete one 4-5 day on-campus “Global Sport Coaching Seminar” during the summer term.
The online program includes in-depth discussions and hands-on projects that directly relate to coaching and improving athletic performance at both the individual and team level. In addition to traditional learning methods, students in the Coaching Education program learn and network with other active coaches and the coaching education faculty through online discussions, group collaboration, direct chats, blogs, and discussion boards.
Master’s Degree in Coaching Education Topics Include:
| • Management and Leadership in Sport | • Psychology of Sport Coaching |
| • Foundations of Sport Coaching I | • Ethics and Diversity in Sport Coaching |
| • Foundations of Sport Coaching II | • Introduction to the National Standards |
| • Performance and Conditioning for Sport Coaches | • Injury Prevention & Risk Management |
| • Coaching Tactics | • Research Methods for Sports Performance |
| • Finance for Sport Coaches | • Introduction to Sport Coaching Education |
| • Coach Performance Evaluation |
Attend the Global Sport Coaching Seminar: This 4-5 day on-campus session takes place during the summer term with some of the nation’s top coaches. Experience these benefits: Networking with multiple cohorts and build credibility, hear keynote speakers addressing hot-topic discussions with follow-up Q&A session, conduct mock interviews to help prepare you for future opportunities, model teaching – 6 minutes to teach a technique & be evaluated, walk away with coaching materials for future reference and learn a variety of coaching techniques that transcend across sports.
What if I am unable to come to Ohio for the on-campus session? Is there another option?
Hi Brad! The best person to answer program requirements would be Trevor, your Enrollment Advisor. His contact information is t.goodworth@onlineprograms.ohio.edu or 1-866-939-5791 X 617. I will pass this question along to Trevor and he will be in contact with you to discuss the options with you further!
Do you think it is possible to do this while being a full time coach, recruiting responsibilities, team travel for competitions, etc. and being a single mom with two kids along with their activities? How much would you consider the time requirement to be?

I have taken a number of classes through Drake University. I already have a Masters Degree in Secondary Education Administration. I have coached HS athletics for over 30 years, however I think an additional degree in this field will allow me to more easily move. Can some of my Drake University credits transfer. Based on course descriptions, many of the courses cover the same materials or concepts.
