Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Psychology Careers Internship in Houston, Texas Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Houston, TX and nationwide)

WHERE MEDICINE MEETS BIG-TIME SPORT
Houston holds the largest medical complex on earth, plus the Texans, Astros, and Rockets. Its doctors know athletes heal in the mind as much as in the body. The internship is remote; Houston interns join a national cohort online, and no local office or partnership is claimed.

A FIELD BUILT ON A FINDING
Sports psychology is a fast-growing field where mental health meets athletic performance, built on one finding: mental training is just as important as physical training.

FOUR CAREERS, FOUR SETTINGS
Clinical Sports Psychologist: treats mental health, performance anxiety, injury recovery, and emotional well-being; requires a doctorate and licensure. Performance Consultant: sharpens focus, confidence, and mental routines. Academic & Research Roles: teach and research the science of sport and performance. Youth & Community Coaching: brings psychology to youth sports and community wellness.

THE SIX CORE SKILLS
Six minds, one profession: Mental Performance Training, Emotional Resilience Building, Injury & Recovery Support, Team Dynamics & Leadership, Goal Setting & Motivation, and Confidence & Focus Coaching.

HOW INTERNS SPEND EIGHT WEEKS
Interns study each career path, research the six skills against real situations, practice content creation in essays and guides, share community education, and close with the purpose connection.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
Psychology, kinesiology, and exercise science students, future counselors, trainers, coaches, and athletes should apply; no psychology background is required. You will gain a map of four careers and six transferable skills.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
Our cohort learns by 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 and consistent while 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
Plan on eight weeks, remote and flexible at five to fifteen hours a week, in 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.
