Qualification description

Level 2 Award Understanding an Athlete’s Lifestyle (UAL)

This Level 2 TASS-developed course aims to increase the learners’ understanding of personal development, lifestyle opportunities and challenges that athletes may face. The course explores the support that athletes require to help them balance their sport and personal commitments. It is suitable for any individual who works with athletes (e.g. coaches, teachers, support practitioners, National Governing Body staff). The course encourages the learner to reflect on how they can better support an athlete’s personal development and lifestyle in their own role and how they can feed the insight back into their organisation.

This course is delivered online over two full days or four half-days.
