Strength & Conditioning Intern

EXPIRED

Army West Point (D1): The Army West Point Athletic Association (AWPAA) Olympic Strength and Conditioning program is accepting applications for 3 strength and conditioning interns for the full 2024/25 academic year to work with Olympic sports. The position will start in early August 2024 and end mid May 2025. Be aware this is a volunteer, UNPAID internship – some clothing and food will be provided but only apply if you can financially support yourself in the local area.

Successful applicants will benefit from exposure to Division I athletics and military/tactical training, continuing professional education (including a full educational curriculum), the opportunity to further develop as coaches in a practical setting, and on-going support from our network of intern graduates and staff members.

This internship will also fulfil hours required for the CsCCa-SCCC exam under the mentorship of Director of Strength and Conditioning Scott Swanson.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS: Desire to become a college strength and conditioning coach. Must either possess, or be actively working towards, an exercise science (or similar) degree and certification as either a SCCC or CSCS.

PREFERRED: Prior experience working in an athletic performance setting. Certification from an accredited body (CSCCa-SCCC or NSCA-CSCS). CPR/AED/First Aid certification.
