Leadership in Elite Coaching Certificate
The job of today’s elite coaches requires more than just knowledge of the x’s and o’s. In a largely commercialized environment, head coaches have become CEO’s.

The Leadership in Elite Coaching Certificate provides foundational knowledge for today’s elite coaches centered around tenets of management and leadership, crafted with the nuanced realities of managing both a sports team and a staff.
