Job Description
Sports Psychology Careers Internship in New Orleans, Louisiana Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in New Orleans, LA and nationwide)
THE COMMITMENTS WE CARRY INTO EVERY SESSION
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.
A CITY FLUENT IN RETURNING
Few places grasp recovery like New Orleans, where Saints devotion borders on sacrament, Tulane and LSU Health educate clinicians, and second lines turn streets into celebrations. Athletes here never rebuild alone.
COACHING THE INNER GAME
Sports psychology is a fast-growing field where mental health meets athletic performance, because athletes at every level now treat mental training as seriously as physical training. Its four career paths: Clinical Sports Psychologist, a practice focused on well-being, Performance Consultant, partnering with teams and solo competitors, Academic & Research Roles at universities, and Youth & Community Coaching in schools and local programs. Six skills equip them all: Mental Performance Training, Emotional Resilience Building, Injury & Recovery Support, Team Dynamics & Leadership, Goal Setting & Motivation, and Confidence & Focus Coaching.
HOW THE EIGHT WEEKS UNFOLD IN PRACTICE
Assignments blend study of each career route, resilience research, content creation, community education, and purpose connection.
PERFORMERS ARE INVITED
Psychology, counseling, social work, public health, and health sciences students form the core audience; band members, dancers, athletes, and coaches bring insight. Everyone leaves with a career map and a finished piece.
TWO STEPS, ONE COMBINED ROADMAP
Step One: launch as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer, or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing. Step Two: those who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, and living the Five Principles, progress first to Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour, then to consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.
FORMAT, HOURS, AND HONEST GEOGRAPHY
Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship. It runs eight weeks, remote and flexible, five to fifteen hours a week, in a national cohort online. The internship is remote with a national cohort online and no local office or partnership is claimed. New cohorts begin on the first of each month, and current students may also complete paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour.
