Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Denver, Colorado Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Denver, CO and nationwide)

WHAT IF CONDITIONING INCLUDED THE MIND?
Denver plans altitude training in detail. Bodies get programs here. Minds in sport rarely do. This internship builds that missing program from one candid interview.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?
Athletes, coaches, and students of psychology, public health, social work, or media can contribute. No playing background is required.

WHAT HAPPENED TO WARREN MOON?
On ALL THE SMOKE, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson interview Warren Moon, who discusses racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. The Secretly Attending Therapy chapter is central: asking for help is a strength. Undrafted as a quarterback, Moon joined the Edmonton Eskimos and won five consecutive Grey Cups. The Houston Oilers made him the NFL's highest-paid player. He reached nine Pro Bowls, played until forty four, and in 2006 became the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted into the Hall of Fame. Chapters also cover refusing a position switch, Doug Williams, and longevity.

WHAT WILL INTERNS DO?
Active Listening in sequence. Mental Health Research into athlete well being. Content Creation in written, audio, or multimedia form. Community Education beyond the cohort. Purpose Connection to your aims. Legacy in Real Time, keeping a vital conversation alive.

WHAT DO YOU GAIN?
A close study of a landmark career, practical language, and a completed piece.

WHAT ARE THE LOGISTICS?
Length is eight weeks, remote and flexible, five to fifteen hours a week, with a national cohort online and no local office or partnership is claimed. Paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour are available. New cohorts begin on the first of each month. Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship.

WHICH PRINCIPLES GUIDE US?
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). This is how Voice Up has achieved what it has to date.

WHAT IS STEP ONE?
Start as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer. Or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.

WHAT IS STEP TWO?
Interns who demonstrate success, who are reliable, consistent, and living the Five Principles, qualify first as Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour, then as consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.
