Internship PRogram
We Understand that getting experience in the industry is hard to come by.
Having degrees and certificates is necessary but they do not give you the opportunity to apply systems with athletes and clients. The field of strength and conditioning is getting more and more competitive and real world experience separates coaches.
“My internship at TNT was by far the highlight of my summer. I met so many amazing athletes who come in every day ready to work and become dominant in their sport. I was able to learn about all of the aspects of strength and conditioning from mechanics, injury prevention, programming, and so much more. Josh, Tom, and Brandon understand the field and what it takes to be successful and guided me throughout the internship while also allowing me to become a leader and find my voice as a coach. The staff at TNT mentored and molded me into the coach I am today and I could not be more thankful for all they have taught me.”
