Coaching Principles course offers students more substance—and certification

Successful Coaching is an excellent stand-alone textbook, but its positive influence on future coaches is even more profound when used in tandem with its companion Coaching Principles course.

Offered through the American Sport Education Program (ASEP), Coaching Principles is the flagship course in ASEP’s coaching certification program, recognized by numerous state high school associations, state departments of education, and individual school districts in meeting coaching education requirements.

  • Offer your students a coaching course with the added bonus of a recognized certification (adoption of the Successful Coaching text alone does not afford you the opportunity to offer ASEP certification).
  • Implement as a semester-long course or as a supplement to the coaching course you’ve developed.
  • Course ancillaries—including an instructor guide, DVD, and certification test—lead you through the delivery of the course while leaving enough flexibility for you to make the course your own.
  • Each student receives a copy of Successful Coaching, plus other ancillaries that offer more robust exploration of the concepts presented in the text (see below for additional information).
  • Alternatively, there’s an online version of Coaching Principles that you can offer in tandem with your current course which also qualifies students for certification.
  • Coaching Principles course ancillaries are free to course adopters and granted by your sales representative. To request your complimentary copies, contact your sales rep.

 


Coaching Principles course content

Coaching Principles provides the underpinnings of what it takes to be a successful coach—beyond the Xs and Os. Through the course, coaches are challenged to

  • define who they are as coaches (their coaching philosophy, objectives, and style), coach for character, and coach diverse athletes (units 1-2);
  • enhance communication and motivational skills and manage athletes’ behavior (unit 3);
  • coach using the games approach and become more effective teachers of technical and tactical skills (unit 4);
  • train athletes for energy and muscular fitness, fuel athletes, and battle drugs (unit 5); and
  • manage a team, relationships, and risk (units 6-7).

Course ancillaries

As a Coaching Principles course adopter, you receive complimentary copies of the Successful Coaching, Fourth Edition text, Coaching Principles Instructor Guide (PDF), Coaching Principles Instructor DVD, Coaching Principles Workbook, Coaching Principles Certification Test, and access to the Successful Coaching text ancillaries.

Coaching Principles Instructor Guide

Online course offers students alternative certification option

As an alternative or enhancement to classroom instruction, Coaching Principles is available as an online course.

  • The online course also satisfies the coaching education requirements of many states and school districts.
  • The course’s 20 units lead students chapter by chapter through the Successful Coaching text.
  • Includes interactive activities, audio clips, video vignettes, self-evaluations, unit quizzes, and online test.

 


State-specific options

For the states of California, Illinois, Virginia, and West Virginia, there is a state-specific component that’s included in the Coaching Principles course. These states have unique ISBNs for their courses.  If you’re from one of these states, contact your sales representative for the correct ISBN for the course you’re offering.
