Coaching Education

Hello, I'm Berivan Kate SEYFİOĞLU. I am sophomore student at Pamukkale University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Coaching Education. Coaching Education is a 4-year undergraduate program. It is located on the main campus of Pamukkale University. The department was established in 2004. Its aim is to train professional trainers who are experts in the field of individual and team sports. Our courses are mostly health-oriented courses. For example Exercise Physiology, Sports Biomechanics and, Anatomy. We have a performance laboratory where we measure and observe the development of our athletes. Our internship program is divided into 3 levels. First we participate as observers, the we become assistant trainers, lastly we experience coaching. We also have graduation projects which we collaborate with our academics, who are experts in their fields. Thus, we qualify to graduate, with the title of coach. With this title, we are entitled to work in the Ministry of Youth and Sports, sports federations, various schools, and the private sector. I like sports and cooperation. In addition to this, I couldn't think of a better idea than the Faculty of Sports Sciences, as the scientific part of sports was very interesting to me. One of the reasons I chose Pamukkale University is that it has Turkey's largest Sports Complex and besides it has a successful academic staff. I can definitely say that the area I benefited most from is the sports center. In our sports center, we have the chance to experience and learn various sports branches. Also there are part-time job opportunities to gain experience in the sports center. After graduation, I want to do yoga and meditation-oriented studies. There are many activities in our faculty. I recommend students to take part in these organizations and activities, and volunteer. I recommend them to take advantage of our sports center and try sports branches that they have not tried. If you are into sports, we welcome you all to Pamukkale University, which has Turkey's largest Sports Complex.
