Strength and Conditioning Internship

POSITION OVERVIEW:

We are seeking motivated and energetic Strength and Performance Specialists that are searching for a unique opportunity to work and flourish in the private sector of the Sports Performance industry.  The ideal candidate would have a strong interest in working with youth, high school, college, and professional athletes in an electric atmosphere utilizing proven next level training and business systems that continue to set ETS apart from the competition.  In addition to being aligned with ETS Partner and NFL All-Pro Adam Thielen among other notable current and past professional athletes, each intern will immediately be surrounded by one of our elite ETS Sports Performance Facility Directors along with a host of other successful ETS Performance Specialists from across the country. 

ETS TRAINING PHILOSOPY:

The ETS training philosophy is to provide every athlete (regardless of age and sport) the opportunity to significantly improve their relative strength, power, linear and lateral speed, ability to biomechanically master the art of deceleration while also significantly improving their overall athleticism and becoming less prone to injury.  Our systematic and step by step approach to developing better athletes will dramatically improve performance on the field, court, track, pool, or ice.

Each athlete will take part in a progressive ability-appropriate plan of strength, speed, agility, and deceleration training that will not only allow them to maximize their skills and athleticism for their sport, but also improve their overall athleticism.  It’s crucial for every athlete to develop the basic-fundamental athletic and biomechanical movements, strength techniques and deceleration protocols through a customized plan in order to truly maximize their potential. 

We believe the missing link in most programs is the lack of consistent and professional emphasis and attention to detail on the basics of an athlete’s complete athletic development separated from their sport-specific skill work.  Our vision is that every athlete will experience an unmatched next level training atmosphere that is equally focused on character development, accountability, and competition as it is the next level performance results that every athlete will gain.  Our goal is for every athlete to leave each session understanding the physical objective for that session, but also understand the importance of consistency, dedication, and commitment to ensure they are maximizing their results.
