Program Description
An internship at Moose(L)Up Redemption Club (MURC) will present you with the opportunity to experience hands-on, individualized coaching with as many as 10 athletes per day. Under the supervision of our qualified staff of strength & conditioning coaches, you will have the chance to coach high school and middle school athletes while becoming more familiar with the intricacies of assessment and program design. With time, interns are given increased responsibility, progressing from observation to full control of all aspects of a session.
As a MURC intern, you will have the opportunity to compliment your hands-on learning experience with participation in our our Coach’s Corner training program, which focuses on continuing education in a classroom-style learning environment. You will be invited to attend our staff meetings where we discuss specific topics, schedules, etc. We work closely with our internship participants to develop coaching, assessment and program-design skill sets to compliment career aspirations within the fitness industry. In short, we expect our interns to leave MURC being able to assess clients and write training programs better than the majority of personal trainers in the country.
We encourage interns to actively think about how they can leverage their personal skills and interests to make MURC a better place.
