Coaching, M.A.E

Greenville College is excited to announce the launch of the MAE-Coaching program starting fall 2012.

Coaches have a unique opportunity to mentor young people and impart valuable life skills, but it can be difficult to manage the demands of a coaching job. How do I increase player motivation and performance? How do I balance coaching expectations and sports administration? What's the best way to communicate with staff and parents?

The MAE-Coaching program emphasizes performance, philosophy and leadership. Our courses will help you:

• Examine sports performance techniques
• Develop effective scouting procedures
• Conduct efficient practice sessions
• Utilize game management strategies
• Improve administrative planning and implementation
• Reflect on your personal coaching philosophy
• Integrate faith while teaching skill and competition

We know coaches have a busy schedule. Greenville’s unique program allows you to continue coaching while learning and networking with experienced coaches entirely online.

Located just outside of St. Louis, in Greenville, Illinois - Greenville College is a regionally focused provider of online programs.
