Guest speakers from St Kilda FC will cover key topics such as training and recovery, injury management, coaching and training athletes, sports psychology, events planning and organisation, events management, leading and managing people and sport and event operations.

The Diploma of Sport teaches you how to manage meetings and projects, plan and implement high performance training, run coaching and recovery programs and support athletes to adopt principles of sport psychology.
