This course explores cross-cultural leadership in sport coaching, focusing on cultural awareness, Cultural Intelligence (CQ), and leadership and communication across cultures. By combining theory with applied learning, the course equips coaches with the awareness, knowledge, and skills to interact effectively with athletes and stakeholders from diverse cultural backgrounds, manage multicultural teams, and contribute to inclusive sport environments.
