Analytical, critical thinking, and management skills for the future

I am an active member of the golf club on campus. I decided to pursue the Course of Sport Coaching because I wanted to objectively evaluate my own capabilities and tactics through a coach’s perspective. I am learning ways to analyze data for performance enhancement and proceed with goal orientation. This course provides opportunities for students to explore coaching methods for different kinds of sports at all levels. I also had the chance to visit Japan Institute of Sports Sciences (JISS), where top athletes train for competitions. Finding similarities between various sport categories and applying my acquired knowledge help me with my club activity. The professors who stand at the frontline of the field as coaches really inspire me, and I believe only Waseda can provide such an empowering environment. I believe the analytical, critical thinking, and management skills I have gained through this course will become my strength as a coach in the future.
