Job Description

Sports Psychology Careers Internship in New York, New York Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in New York, NY and nationwide)

THE NOISIEST STAGE HIDES A QUIET CALLING
New York debates the Yankees and Mets, Knicks and Nets, Giants and Jets at full volume, while a calmer profession helps performers cope with that glare. This internship profiles specialists who strengthen minds on sport's loudest stage.

PROGRAM FACTS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship. It spans eight weeks, remote and flexible for five to fifteen hours a week, gathering New York learners into a national cohort online. No local office or partnership is claimed. New cohorts begin on the first of each month, and current students may also accept paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour.

A FIELD EXPANDING WHERE PRESSURE LIVES
Sports psychology is a fast-growing field where mental health meets athletic performance, as competitors now treat mental preparation as equal to physical preparation. Four career paths organize it: Clinical Sports Psychologist, Performance Consultant, Academic & Research Roles, and Youth & Community Coaching. Six skills run through all four: Mental Performance Training, Emotional Resilience Building, Injury & Recovery Support, Team Dynamics & Leadership, Goal Setting & Motivation, and Confidence & Focus Coaching.

LEARNING BY DOING, NOT JUST READING
Weekly work rotates through study of each path, research on skills under pressure, content creation for fans and families, community education, and purpose connection.

NO PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE REQUIRED TO START
Psychology, counseling, exercise science, public health, education, and media students are welcome, as are athletes and coaches. You gain command of the six skills, a bylined project, and clarity about which path fits you.

PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE PRACTICE
All of this follows 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.

YOUR ENTRY POINT, CHOOSE ONE
Step One: begin as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer, or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing and pursue an original idea there.

WHERE RELIABILITY CAN TAKE YOU
Step Two opens to those who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, and living the Five Principles: first Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour, then consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.

TELL US WHICH ARENA PULLS YOU IN
Apply to describing who you are, the loudest pressure you have ever watched an athlete carry, and which of the four paths you want to investigate first. Details: voiceuplab.org/SportsPsychologyCareers.
