Description of module content:

This module will be taught using the theory of successful high performing environments within a sporting context. Specifically, this module will help you understand the dynamics of a high performance sporting environment, including the club or organisation, the staff and the athletes' involvement. You will be encouraged to learn about your own environment, your own skills and competencies which have brought you to this stage, and learn from others in order to help you determine how you fit into that. In developing a better understanding about your own environment, you will be able to identify the skills required to interact positively at the same time as learning about the impact of behaviours and actions on yourself and others. You will learn about challenges faced by others, the influence of behaviours within a high performance environment, the skills and principles of self and team needed to help navigate the expectations of this environment, and recognise the factors which influence successful integration into a high performing team.

Learning Outcomes for module:

LO1: Develop an understanding of a professional sports environment with particular focus on roles and responsibilities of staff and athletes
LO2: Identify the challenges faced by athletes in meeting expectations of a successful sports environment
LO3: Outline the impact of individual behaviours on success and team dynamics
