Course Content

This course assesses the following units:

Unit 4 – Personal attributes and sports psychology – This unit will help you to identify the different social learning theories and encourage you to look at how personality impacts on a person’s attitude towards sport.

Unit 5 – Aggression and sport – In this unit you will explore the different forms of aggression including hostile and instrumental aggression and gain an insight into how aggression affects performance.

Unit 6 – Motivation, mental health and recovery – This unit will teach you the importance of motivation in sports psychology and how each individual’s motivation will differ from others.

Unit 7 – Social influences and group dynamics – In our final unit you will explore the different styles of leadership and examine theories surrounding leadership before making the important connection between the relationship of coach and athlete.
