With a coaching staff boasting more than two decades of combined experience, interns have the opportunity to learn from professionals with a wide range of knowledge and experience. What to Expect Throughout the internship, interns will progress from observation to hands-on experience. The goal is to develop both the knowledge and practical skills necessary to confidently work with clients and athletes. Interns are required to attend and participate in a weekly staff in-service. Each week, a different topic will be taught, followed by a review of what interns learned and observed during the previous week. These sessions are designed to encourage discussion, critical thinking, and continued professional development. Interns will also be guided through proper client assessment protocols, including: Reviewing a new client's training and health history Conducting physical assessments Performing needs analyses Identifying individual goals and priorities Developing appropriate training strategies Implementing and coaching training programs Upon successful completion of the program, each intern will have the knowledge and experience necessary to design and implement a training program for an assigned client. Curriculum & Sports Science Technology Before the start of the internship, each intern will receive a curriculum and course outline detailing the topics that will be covered throughout the program. Interns will also receive a list of required resources and assignments to help supplement their practical experience. Throughout the internship, interns will be introduced to a variety of sports science technologies used by API to assess readiness, monitor performance outputs, collect data, and assist with workout design. A final project must be completed and approved in order to receive credit for the internship. Professional Development & Networking One of the unique benefits of the API internship program is access to our professional network. As part of the internship, each intern will receive lifetime access to our private Dropbox community, where past interns and coaches, therapists, and other practitioners from around the world share information, discuss ideas, answer questions, and continue to learn from one another. This provides interns with an opportunity to remain connected to a growing professional community long after their internship has ended. Who Should Apply? This internship is an excellent opportunity for students pursuing degrees in exercise science, kinesiology, athletic training, or other health- and wellness-related fields.
