since the opening of the College of Education in about 2009 SMU has had two primary undergraduate study concentrations:
Applied Physiology
Sports Management

Looks like the have added a 3rd with a fancy name

Sports Performance Leadership

great addition-should have interest for students that may want to become coaches which many have suggested on here:

The Sport Performance Leadership (SPL) program is a concentration within the undergraduate major in Applied Physiology and Sport Management (APSM) housed in the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development.

This program’s mission is to provide students with academic and experiential training pertinent to the leadership and instruction of sport.

The required introductory class for students interested in applying for the SPL concentration is APSM 2340 Coaching and Leadership for Performance.

Academic coursework, addressing coach and leadership development, and the experiential learning opportunities within this program will prepare students for a variety of possible career paths including youth, high school, collegiate, elite-level, or even private practice coaching.

Sounds good. It would be good to have more coaches in the metroplex.
