What does your dream job look like? Whether you know the answer to this question or not, this module is designed to help. You will gain first-hand information about “a day in the life” of professionals employed in a number of popular sport science careers such as “applied sport scientist”, “sport psychologist”, “physiotherapist”, “sports coach”, “international mountain guide” and “adventure sports consultant”. This will provide you with a detailed picture of what these careers entail, and what you’ll need to do to get there. It will equip you with the information you need to make informed decisions about what you want to do, module choices, and work experience etc from the very start of your degree, to help ensure you meet the essential criteria to land your ideal job after you graduate. A well-published sport psychologist and a well-published sport physiologist, who have both worked with international athletes (e.g., Commonwealth Games athletes, International cricket team, Premier League football team), coordinate this module. They are supported by specially selected guest speakers who are employed in popular sport science careers to ensure you get the highest quality and most up-to-date content.

You will be introduced to a range of popular sport science careers, typically including: “sport scientist”, “physiotherapist (NHS and elite sport)”, “disability sport officer”, “international mountain guide”, “adventure sport consultant”, “sport coach”. As well as learning what these careers look like, you will be challenged to identify issues such as moral, ethical, legal, and health and safety considerations that underpin best practice in these careers. In other words, you will get practice at dealing with the sorts of hypothetical scenarios that might be thrown at you in job interviews (e.g., “how would you safeguard children in an outdoor expedition?”, “how would you mitigate injury risk in athletes during growth spurts?” etc). You will also receive advice on the sort of experiences and qualifications required to get a foot in the door, together with advice on what modules you should consider choosing in year 2 and year 3 in order to optimally tailor your degree program towards your desired career path.

ardderchog

A thorough understanding cf the moral, ethical, legal and health & safety issues associated with physical activity and research into it. Demonstrates a consistent ability to effectively analyse situations, recognising where there are conflicting demands for practitioner and participant. Be able to propose solutions to deilmmas and analyse the likely effect of these on best practice. Good referencing evident.

1. On successful completion of the module students will be able to:

2. 1. Analyse the moral, ethical, legal and health & safety issues associated with a number of different situations faced by practitioners and participants in physical activity (sport, exercise, physical education, outdoor education).
3. 1. Propose, justify and prioritise alternative solutions to the dilemmas faced by practitioners and participants in physical activity settings.
4. 1. Discuss professional codes of conduct associated with participating, teaching and coaching in sport and exercise, with particular reference to the requirements for those working with vulnerable people of all ages.

ASTUDIAETH ACHOS	Case Study	Students will be presented with scenarios faced in a range of the most popular sport science careers and asked to prepare an essay detailing how the scenario would be handled. For example “Imagine that you are a coach in a sport of your choice, and that you are coaching a group of talented 8-year old children. You will be working with this group for the next 10 years, and your goal is to oversee their development with the aim of producing international-standard performers by the time they reach age 18. What are the key issues surrounding child development that you need to consider in order to help ensure the optimal development of your children?” These are the sorts of scenarios that students will be asked to comment on during job interviews and in the resultant careers.	85.00
