Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Psychology Careers Internship in Nashville, Tennessee Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Nashville, TN and nationwide)

CAN MUSIC CITY TEACH ATHLETES ABOUT THE INNER GAME?
Nashville stages nightly performances, anchors a major healthcare economy, and cheers the Titans and Predators. Performers here know applause is only the visible fraction. This role is remote with a national cohort online, and no local office or partnership is claimed.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?
Anyone curious about minds under pressure should consider it. You need interest and follow through, not a settled career answer.

WHAT FIELD WILL YOU EXPLORE?
Sports psychology is a fast-growing field where mental health meets athletic performance, helping competitors treat mental training as equal to physical training. You compare four career paths: Clinical Sports Psychologist, Performance Consultant, Academic & Research Roles, and Youth & Community Coaching. Clinicians support mental health, anxiety, injury recovery, and well-being and need a doctorate and licensure. Consultants sharpen focus, confidence, and routines. Academics teach and run university research. Youth and community coaches apply the ideas in schools and neighborhood programs. Six shared skills unite them: Mental Performance Training, Emotional Resilience Building, Injury & Recovery Support, Team Dynamics & Leadership, Goal Setting & Motivation, and Confidence & Focus Coaching.

WHAT WILL YOUR WEEKS INVOLVE?
Interns study real roles, pursue guided research, and practice content creation, community education, and purpose connection.

WHAT DO YOU GAIN?
You gain a finished, reviewed piece and a map of training routes and work settings.

WHAT ARE THE LOGISTICS?
Plan on eight weeks, remote and flexible, five to fifteen hours a week, with a national cohort online. New cohorts begin on the first of each month. Current students may join paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour. Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship.

WHICH PRINCIPLES ANCHOR US?
Our 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.

HOW DO YOU START? STEP ONE
Start as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer; or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.

WHAT COMES AFTER SUCCESS? STEP TWO
Those who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, and living the Five Principles, may advance first to Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour, then to consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.

HOW DO YOU APPLY?
Email . Tell us who you are, a performance you will never forget, on any stage, and which of the four stages above you want to work first. See voiceuplab.org/SportsPsychologyCareers
