THE IPC INTERNSHIP
The Iron Performance Center Internship is a unique opportunity to further your knowledge in the field of strength and conditioning while gaining massive amounts of hands-on coaching experience. Strength Coach interns will begin each semester by learning the importance of building relationships, facility organization, and basic coaching responsibility. Over the course of the semester, interns will have unique opportunities to coach with extreme autonomy, navigate assessment and programming challenges, as well as build relationships with athletes, clients and sport coaches in the community.
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
Working alongside our professional strength staff
Coaching athletes at the high school, collegiate and professional level
Coaching general population clientele
Working with a multitude of different sports and their associated organizations
Working with unique strength training equipment in a high-performance facility
Using a variety of technologies for testing and monitoring purposes
Networking with sport coaches and administrators in the community
Resume building and career enhancement
Business development, marketing strategies and sales tactics
In addition to your time on the floor with our clients, you will be expected to complete valuable learning experiences outside the gym including aiding our coaches with the facilitation of our online offerings, reading assignments, media work, researching, and attending a weekly professional development session. Furthermore, you will be expected to participate in staff lifts when the opportunity presents itself; if we are to enforce a culture of excellence, we must lead from the front. All interns should be comfortable “bending the bar”.
