Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Psychology Careers Internship in Minneapolis, Minnesota Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Minneapolis, MN and nationwide)

THE LONG SEASON IS A STATE OF MIND
Minnesota athletes train through winters that test resolve. The internship is remote, Minneapolis interns join a national cohort online, and no local office or partnership is claimed.

A FIELD FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK IN SEASONS
Sports psychology is one of the fastest-growing areas in health and human performance, where mental health meets athletic performance. Athletes at every level are learning that mental training matters as much as physical training.

THE FOUR PATHS
Clinical Sports Psychologist: works on mental health, performance anxiety, injury recovery, and emotional well-being; requires a doctorate and licensure. Performance Consultant: helps teams sharpen focus, build confidence, and develop mental routines. Academic & Research Roles: teach and research at universities, advancing the science of sport. Youth & Community Coaching: applies psychology in youth sports and community wellness.

SIX SKILLS FOR LONG SEASONS
Six skills for long seasons: Mental Performance Training, Emotional Resilience Building, Injury & Recovery Support, Team Dynamics & Leadership, Goal Setting & Motivation, and Confidence & Focus Coaching.

THE PROGRAM OF WORK
The work is steady: study the four paths, research each skill in real examples, listen to athlete stories, practice content creation, share community education, and finish with the purpose connection.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
Students in psychology, counseling, kinesiology, public health, and education should apply, along with athletes and coaches. You will gain a career map drawn to scale, six practiced skills, and a finished piece.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
We rely on the Five Principles: 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
1. Start as an academic intern for credit through your school, or start as a volunteer. 2. Or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.

STEP TWO
Interns who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, and 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
Expect eight weeks, remote and flexible at five to fifteen hours a week, alongside a national cohort online. Special projects pay $20 to $30 per hour. New cohorts begin on the first of each month. Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship.
