"Masters degrees don't prepare coaches for their career" "The current education isn't fit for purpose" You and I have heard variations of this for a long time You've probably been through an UG degree and felt it Or, you've avoided them because you're scared of it The problem has and always will be the system. Barely able to innovate, barely able to give learners what they need. The time has come for academically registered qualifications which aren't overly focussed on 'academics', and aren't constrained by the university where they are delivered (designed and created decades ago). Sporting careers have moved on, your education needs to too! ALTIS Higher Education is designed for just that 📌 World class education 📌 Designed and delivered by world class coaches 📌 For people with world class potential MSc Strength Conditioning and Coaching Practice - Coming January 2025 - Time to apply and receive offers before September! Reach out if you'd like more information

Everyone has asked for change and things to be different for years That change now exists But the majority will just stick with tradition, convienience and a program which likely has a poor return on investment It will be those who step outside their comfort zone and look outside the box that will prosper Please share with those who need it 🙏🙌

As I embark on my biggest project to date, I thought I'd re-introduce myself and tell you about @ALTIS Higher Education. I'm Rich Clarke. I am the Programme Director of the new ALTIS Higher Education MSc in Strength, Conditioning and Coaching. The worlds first MSc degree designed and delivered by a private coaching organisation. Designed by coaches, for coaches, without all the barriers of a traditional University or College ecosystem. I’ve spent the last 12 years of my career involved in coaching athletes and running Graduate degrees in Strength and Conditioning. Through that time, there was always one common discussion at the end of an academic year: "Imagine how good we could make this if all this other stuff wasn’t in the way!” The traditional model of Higher Education isn’t set up to optimize outcomes in expertise-based professions. It’s great for the humanities, and for academia, but coaching is neither of these. “There has to be a better way of doing this” Finding an answer to this is a perfect alignment of my experiences, professional strengths and personal values. I've ran these programmes my entire career, coach education has always been part of what I do. You'll even see from what I share and say that it is always about facing the truth, personal growth and providing impactful solutions to problems. COD and Agility Education The UKSCA Accelerator Now a Private MSc Programme These are all things I have developed to solve identified problems. I don't believe in talking on the sidelines, leaving things to other people or avoiding the hard work. I don't believe in ignorance. I am a doer. But for there to be progress in any of these tricky situations, you have to be working with solution focussed, open minded and motivated people. That hasn't always been the case for me. I've been part of groups that just weren't that, didn't like the truth or avoided difficult conversations. People happy with the status quo, void of any innovation or blind to group think. A description which unfortunately describes the majority of organisations. The only way to solve the problems or challenges with the Higher Education model was to find and build a team. And what better team than the best private coach education company in the world? ALTIS is a team of coaches who have worked with over 120 Olympians, gained nearly 60 Olympic Medals, and educated 1000's of coaches. Luckily, they were all in. The team and the solution was born. This project makes me more proud, excited and motivated than I've ever felt. It is going to be the first of its kind in many ways. ALTIS Higher Education will change things. We have lots of plans, and lots to do. I'll of course be writing more about it as the days and weeks go on. But if you, or anyone you know may be interested, you can join the other 600+ people and find out more about it here: lnkd.in/eC3eqnfx

Years and years of talk about how the current education landscape needs to change or do better But TALK DOESN’T COOK RICE We’ll share much more about this soon

If you, or anyone you know is looking for an MSc soon… it would be crazy not to check this out Even if you’ve accepted an offer for Sept, you’ll be able to apply & get clarity in time to decide Designed for the greatest return on investment possible. For coaches, by coaches!

Interested in how prevalent COD assessment is during pre-season athlete profiling..... Do you formally assess/test COD movement or performance? Very interested in what test if yes, or why not if no.... @StuartMcMillan1 @ALTIS
