If you’re interested:
• Email a one page letter to jsmith@athletics.pitt.edu that describes yourself and explains why you would like to intern with us

There is a great deal of daily discussion/interaction with myself and Buddy.

The more qualified/experienced the intern the more responsibility we’ll give them with respect to supervising/monitoring various position groups in their training.

I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity. Speaking from experience, Buddy and James are tremendously giving of their time, and working with them will really bring many of the concepts discussed on the board to a real world training environment.

I agree. If you can, jump on this.

I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to get into athletic performance. The knowledge Buddy and James possess will be useful for ANY sport you’d like to get involved in. You will learn a ton through both planning skills and hands on coaching experience.
