Job Description

Sports Psychology Careers Internship in Atlanta, Georgia Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Atlanta, GA and nationwide)

A CITY OF FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS AND BIG STAGES
Georgia high school football fills stadiums on Fridays; the Falcons, Braves, Hawks, and Atlanta United fill them the rest of the week. Atlanta produces athletes. This internship is about the professionals who care for athletes' minds. Remote, national cohort online, no local office or partnership claimed.

A FIELD THAT IS GROWING BECAUSE THE NEED IS REAL
Sports psychology is a fast-growing field where mental health meets athletic performance. Athletes from youth leagues to professionals have stopped pretending the mind is separate from the body; mental training now sits beside strength training. Interns learn four paths and six core skills.

FOUR PATHS, FOUR DIFFERENT DAYS AT WORK
Clinical Sports Psychologist: one on one work on mental health, performance anxiety, injury recovery, emotional well-being; doctorate and licensure. Performance Consultant: focus, confidence, mental routines. Academic & Research Roles: teaching and science at universities. Youth & Community Coaching: school programs, youth sports, community wellness.

THE SIX SKILLS UNDER EVERYTHING
Mental Performance Training; Emotional Resilience Building; Injury & Recovery Support; Team Dynamics & Leadership; Goal Setting & Motivation; Confidence & Focus Coaching. Study and explain each plainly.

YOUR WORK, BROADLY
Study each path; research the evidence; listen to athletes and coaches; create essays, guides, or multimedia; teach through community education; make the purpose connection.

WHO SHOULD RAISE A HAND
Psychology, counseling, exercise science, and public health students; athletes, coaches, community leaders, writers. A sports background helps, not required. Gain an accurate field map, core skill vocabulary, and a finished piece.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
The Five Principles of Voice Up guide us: 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
Start as an academic intern for credit through your school, or start as a volunteer. Or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.

STEP TWO
Interns who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, living the Five Principles, move first to Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour, then consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.

DETAILS
