High School Strength and Conditioning Internship
We have a High School Strength and Conditioning Internship available for each fall, spring, and summer term.
This individual would report to the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the school they are assigned. The intern would assist with performance testing and program design and implementation for local high schools. They will also be responsible for providing feedback for technique and safety upon approval from the head coach. Each high school setting offers a multitude of sports as well as preparing the junior high athletes for the high school training setting. They may be asked to assist in multiple schools based on need.
*The number of hours can vary depending on program requirements. The intern’s schedule will mirror that of the coach they are partnered with.
