Dal generates excitement with kinesiology course based on Ted Lasso

Dalhousie University is generating excitement with a newly announced kinesiology course that draws on the popular television show Ted Lasso. Students in “Coaching and Life: Lessons from Ted Lasso” will watch episodes of the show, analyzing and interpreting themes around sport psychology, sociology, leadership, and more. Dal Associate Professor Lori Dithurbide said she was inspired to create the course after a colleague jokingly suggested it. Dithurbide said that the show lends itself to a course because of the variety of topics that it touches on, including coaching philosophies and leadership styles.
