Job Description

Sports Psychology Careers Internship in Indianapolis, Indiana Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Indianapolis, IN and nationwide)

THE CITY THAT RUNS SPORT IN AMERICA
The NCAA is headquartered in Indianapolis, near the Colts and Pacers. This city thinks about athletes for a living. The internship is fully remote, Indianapolis interns join a national cohort online, and no local office or partnership is claimed.

WHERE THE MIND MEETS THE GAME
Sports psychology sits where mental health meets athletic performance, a fast-growing field, because athletes are learning that mental training matters as much as physical training.

FOUR DOORS INTO THE FIELD
Clinical Sports Psychologist: work on performance anxiety, mental health, injury recovery, and emotional well-being; requires a doctorate and licensure. Performance Consultant: teaches focus, confidence, and mental routines. Academic & Research Roles: run studies and teach the science of sport and performance. Youth & Community Coaching: carries psychology into school gyms and wellness programs.

SIX SKILLS, PRACTICED
Interns practice six abilities: Mental Performance Training, Emotional Resilience Building, Injury & Recovery Support, Team Dynamics & Leadership, Goal Setting & Motivation, and Confidence & Focus Coaching.

THE WORK ITSELF
The rhythm is study, research, and making: study the four careers, research the six skills in real situations, practice content creation, share community education, and end with the purpose connection.

WHO BELONGS HERE
Students of psychology, kinesiology, exercise science, counseling, and sport management belong here, along with athletes and coaches; no psychology degree is required. You take away a career map and finished content.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
Grounded in 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. Begin as an academic intern for credit through your school, or begin 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
The internship runs eight weeks, remote and flexible at five to fifteen hours a week, within 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.
