Internship

The Gordon Institute for Sports Performance offers internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Please understand that these internship positions are designed to give an individual “hands on” experience, and to provide an educational opportunity to learn training protocols that are prudent, productive, practical, and purposeful.

Certainly, there are limited employment opportunities in the sports performance field at the private, collegiate, and professional levels. However, if you have the appropriate educational credentials and a sincere passion for “rolling up your sleeves” and conducting “hands on”/individualized training, the Gordon Institute would encourage you to pursue your dream.

Thank you for your interest in the Gordon Institute’s Internship Program. Please contact Coach Taylor today regarding internship openings.
