Internship Job Title: Strength & Conditioning Intern
Background
In spring 14, I was enrolled in KIN 391 which was a directed study course. The course
had to be approved by my advisor and consisted of a small intern project of my choosing. I
interviewed with the Strength & Conditioning coach and got approved for the directed study. I
thoroughly enjoyed the experience so much that I was anxious to get back into the field. I
immediately came back to the Strength & Conditioning coach when I had to figure out where I
wanted to do my internship. I chose this internship in order to pursue my interests in becoming a
Strength & Conditioning coach. I feel that this is the one thing I can see myself actually enjoy
doing the rest of my life since sports has played a big role in my life.
