Faculty behind the Nippon Sport Science University Coach Developer Academy (NCDA) program are confident that the "athlete-centered" culture it is fostering has made positive international progress since its 2014 inception.

In collaboration with the International Council for Coaching Excellence, the grand vision of the NCDA has been to create a coaching culture that leads to positive experiences for everyone through sports.

That vision is accomplished by teaching participants to become coach developers who are effective at educating coaches and designing programs to further their progress.
