Strength and Conditioning Internships

Gain Valuable Hands-On Experience Training Athletes

Strength and conditioning internships at Finish First Sports Performance will offer you the opportunity to experience hands-on, individualized coaching with youth, high school, collegiate, and professional athletes, as well as the opportunity to become more familiar with advanced program design, including advanced functional evaluation and assessments.


Unlike most other strength and conditioning internships, you will also have the opportunity to learn about business--sales, marketing, website development, and additional valuable business skills such as cash flow and debt management.
