Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Phoenix, Arizona Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Phoenix, AZ and nationwide)

IN THE VALLEY, THE SUN IS HONEST. SO IS THE CONVERSATION.
Phoenix lives: spring training, Suns, Diamondbacks, Cardinals, fields from Mesa to Glendale. The Valley teaches lessons about heat stress and ignored warning signs. Interns learn matching lessons about minds through one athlete story. Remote, national cohort online, no local office or partnership is claimed.

THE INTERNSHIP, DESCRIBED SIMPLY
On ALL THE SMOKE, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson interview Warren Moon on racism, family pressure, secretly attending therapy. Study chapter by chapter; produce content: Refusing to Change Positions, Five Straight Grey Cups, NFL's Highest-Paid Player, Secretly Attending Therapy, Doug Williams & the Black QB Legacy. Only-one status risks anxiety, depression, burnout; racial stress disrupts sleep and health. Lesson: asking for help is a strength.

MEET WARREN MOON
Undrafted, Moon joined Edmonton Eskimos, won five consecutive Grey Cups, became Houston's highest-paid NFL player, made nine Pro Bowls, played until forty four, and entered the 2006 Hall of Fame, first undrafted, first Black quarterback inducted.

THE SIX ASSIGNMENTS
Active Listening chapter by chapter; Mental Health Research; Content Creation; Community Education; Purpose Connection to your purpose and the Five Principles; Legacy in Real Time.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
Athletes, coaches, creators, psychology, health, communications students; no playing background required.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN
Close study of a career, behavioral health knowledge, a finished content piece, and direct language.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
Founded on the 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).

STEP ONE: TWO WAYS TO BEGIN
Begin as an academic intern for credit through your school, or start as a volunteer, or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.
