Students in the Applied Sport Psychology and Counseling major study all aspects of
physical and mental health while learning the necessary interpersonal skills to be
successful counselors.
Students in our 100% online master's of Coaching Education who choose the athletic
coaching concentration learn how to improve athleticism across ages and skillsets.
Students who choose the mental performance coaching concentration take coursework
that will prepare them for the Certified Mental Perforamance Coaching certification.
Your career
Mental performance coaches work primarily with youth through elite sport settings, non-sport settings (i.e., with dancers or musicians) and other occupations.
