Sports Performance Intern

Goldfinch Sports Performance | Ankeny, Iowa

Since 2008, we have been helping athletes achieve their goals, improve their athleticism, and create a love for fitness and training. We started as Acceleration Iowa, but have turned this business into one that encompasses not just sports performance, but youth, adult, and specialized fitness for all ages.

We are looking to add to our team some young, inspiring, and cooperative interns who want to increase their experience and exposure to clients. Unlike most internships, you’ll be directly in front of our clientele, not just in our facility, but serving alongside our experienced coaches at our remote sites.

    • Attend training prior to starting the internship to learn how we do things and increase your skillset.

    • Serve first as an assistant coach overseeing sessions for our youth sports performance, then move into leading small groups.

    • Assist experienced coaches at our remote facilities across central Iowa in leading athletes through our top-notch training program!

  • Requirements

    • Currently attending a university or college and seeking college credit or part-time experience.

    • A background in athletics, fitness, or training

    • A personality willing to engage with clients. We can teach how to coach, but we can’t teach someone how to want to help.

  • A CV/resume or description of your credentials for the position

  • Your answer, in 200 words or less, to this question: Why do you want to work in fitness?
