Before you enroll

Coursera estimates one week at ten hours, including assessment and reading. The syllabus includes supplements and injury-related contexts; completing it does not qualify a coach to prescribe supplements, restrictive diets or treatment. Individual plans should be developed by appropriately qualified nutrition or healthcare professionals.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Create a list of questions for a fictional team’s nutrition specialist covering training schedules, travel and player preferences. Explain which decisions are within a coach’s role and which require specialist assessment.
