Background

At Setanta Athletic Development, our team of industry leaders in youth development, elite performance, and sports science is dedicated to sharing their expertise with clubs at all levels and helping enhance their approach to athletic development.  

As a subsidiary of Setanta College, we have access to a wealth of academic knowledge and a network of leading coaches. We’re passionate about empowering coaches with the education and resources they need to create sustainable athletic development models that benefit players from youth to adult level.  

We believe that education is the key to success, which is why we provide access to programs from certificate to Master’s level. Our aim is to equip coaches with the knowledge and skills needed to drive success and ensure clubs have qualified and experienced professionals for years to come. 

Our Approach

Educate

Empower

Sustain

Education is the foundation of what we do in Setanta Athletic Development. Throughout all of our services, we prioritise the education of coaches within the organisation and community. Along with guidance from our team, coaches gain access to the latest research and best practices through enrollment on programmes from certificate to MSc level with Setanta College. As a result, clubs have qualified and experienced people who can lead sustainable athletic development models long into the future.  

Empowerment is the next step in our approach. We want to give the coaches and volunteers the tools they need to implement what they’ve learned and enhance approaches within the organisation. As your time with Setanta Athletic Development progresses, your coaches become more educated and experienced to lead the implementation of the programme.

Sustainability is the ultimate goal. We’re committed to helping organisations create sustainable athletic development models that stand the test of time. Our approach focuses on building a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that can be passed down through generations of coaches and volunteers.

Educational Investment

A significant portion of your investment will be dedicated towards the education of your organisation’s coaches. Selected candidates are put forward to study with Setanta College, through the MSc in Performance Coaching and the Certificate in Youth Athletic Development.

Setanta College delivers its programmes through blended learning, with online lectures and practical workshops. This ensures that your coaches can advance their education in the area in their own time. Crucially, this allows them the flexibility to work around their current career or coaching commitments. You can learn more about each of the courses your coaches will be enrolled on below.
