Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Psychology Careers Internship in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Raleigh-Durham, NC and nationwide)

THE TRIANGLE STUDIES EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE ATHLETE'S MIND
Duke, North Carolina, and NC State sit minutes apart amid Research Triangle companies and intense basketball culture. This remote internship applies careful study to the athlete's mind: interns join a national cohort online, and no local office or partnership is claimed.

THE FIELD, DEFINED CAREFULLY
Sports psychology studies the mental side of athletic performance, where mental health meets athletic performance, and is among the fastest growing areas in health and human performance. Athletes from youth leagues to the pros now treat mental training as seriously as physical training. Four careers: Clinical Sports Psychologist (clinics and teams; mental health, performance anxiety, injury recovery, emotional well-being; doctorate and licensure). Performance Consultant (focus, confidence, mental routines). Academic & Research Roles (university teaching and research). Youth & Community Coaching (schools, youth sports, community wellness). Six skills: Mental Performance Training, Emotional Resilience Building, Injury & Recovery Support, Team Dynamics & Leadership, Goal Setting & Motivation, Confidence & Focus Coaching. Interns study the paths, research the skills, create essays, guides, or multimedia, share findings through community education, and close with purpose connection.

WHO SHOULD APPLY AND WHAT YOU WILL GAIN
Psychology, neuroscience, exercise science, public health, and education students fit well, as do coaches and athletes. No prior coursework is required. You gain four careers compared on evidence, six skills as systems, and a finished public piece.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
All of this is grounded in the Five Principles of Voice Up: Collaboration (all are welcome), Humility (we all have much to learn), Precision (all the details matter), Patience (we all need forgiveness; we all make mistakes and learn from each), Empathy (we must understand your why). This is how Voice Up has achieved what it has to date.

STEP ONE: TWO WAYS TO BEGIN
Begin as an academic intern for credit through your school, or begin as a volunteer. Or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing and pursue your own idea there.

STEP TWO: WHERE STEADY WORK LEADS
Interns who demonstrate success (reliable, consistent, living the Five Principles) become eligible for Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour first, then consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.

DETAILS
Eight weeks, remote and flexible, five to fifteen hours a week, national cohort online. Students may also join paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour. New cohorts begin on the first of each month. Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship.
