Psychology of Sport & Exercise

The Psychology of Sport and Exercise CUGS enhances students' knowledge in the field of psychology and performance in the sport and exercise environment. Achieving this certificate will increase awareness of general information regarding sports psychology, performance, and exercise by focusing on theories, models and processes.
