Overall Goal of Internship
At completion of this internship, the intern will gain an excellent understanding and knowledge of how Acceleration Sports Performance provides a variety of health and wellness programs to employees/community-sponsored events. The intern will gain experience in behavior change facilitation including Health Risk Assessment, intervention, and reassessment, and will create promotional and marketing projects to increase participation or sales. The organizational experiences will allow for some supervision of an event, small budget experiences, in-service training, and shadowing of the internship supervisor. The intern will work with and be supervised by Acceleration Sports Performance on-site internship supervisor, Chris Minor. The intern will complete experiences as outlined by the following specific objectives and be evaluated on his/her performance in each of these areas.
