Description
This is an unpaid internship designed to provide a hands-on, educational experience for students interested in collegiate athletics. Interns will gain meaningful exposure to the operations of a Division I athletic department supporting 30 varsity programs at the United States Military Academy, the greatest leadership institution in the world. Through training, mentorship, and guided participation, interns will work alongside full-time professionals and explore how a high-performing athletics department operates. The internship emphasizes learning, professional development, and career exploration, offering students a behind-the-scenes look at college athletics while building transferable skills for the future. Interns in Strength & Conditioning will gain exposure to Division I athletics and military/tactical training, continuing professional education (including a full educational curriculum), the opportunity to further develop as coaches in a practical setting, and on-going support from our network of intern graduates and staff members. Interns will be immersed in the day-to-day work environment and fully integrated with their mentors’ teams - this will include: Assisting with general administration and maintenance, Session set-up and break-down, Data collection, Coaching and supporting the cadet-athletes. This internship will also fulfill hours required for the CsCCa-SCCC exam under the mentorship of Assistant Athletics Director, Sports Performance, Scott Swanson.
