HPW Student Internship Experience – Alex Richards 16′
\n<\/strong>Interning with the UW-Stevens Point athletic teams was a great first hand experience working with a variety of athletes. I was granted full responsibility of designing and implementing the spring training programs for Men\u2019s Basketball, Women\u2019s Basketball, and Women\u2019s Volleyball. I directed and coached all training sessions by myself. I was provided several opportunities to improve my coaching and communication skills by leading large groups of athletes through their various strength, speed, and agility exercises.<\/p>\n
