Sports coaching education and research in higher education have received increased attention lately, especially in English-speaking countries such as the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK (Potrac, Gilbert, & Denison, 2013). Although research on sports coaching education is on the rise, very few studies have explored formal sports coaching education programs in university settings. As a result, little knowledge on formal sports coaching education at the university level has been generated. The purpose of this case study was to explore the outgrowth, design, curriculum, and delivery of a graduate sports coaching education program with a concentration on soccer coaching (M.S.R.S,) at Ohio University in light of the recent professionalization processes within the field of sports coaching. This research project was framed by the interpretivist research paradigm. Interviews, documents, and observations served as the main data sources, with the coding of themes as the main form of data analysis strategy. As a result of the increased professionalization of sports coaches, advanced sports coaches must become knowledgeable in many aspects of the coaching domain in the 21st century. The curriculum, and the changes the program has implemented into the curriculum, makes this point clear. The dissertation determined that the curriculum to a large extent is aligned with the International Sports Coaching Framework (version 1.2). Moreover, this study demonstrated that, with a master's degree in soccer coaching, the graduate program expects students to take on a larger role in the soccer world and to become agents of change in soccer communities around the country. Implications of this research project include a follow-up study to incorporate student voices and an exploration of why the program has not been successful in attracting more women. Furthermore, the study demonstrated the need to develop an evaluation tool to help educational programs access whether sports coaches become more effective in their profession when they graduate from a university program.
