Our primary goal is to train the next generation of high-performance coaches. We are dedicated to providing an environment in which developing coaches are able to learn their craft through a hands-on, immersive experience.
What To Expect
The ALTIS Internship program involves a combination of lecture sessions, problem-based learning, and practical skills development.
With learning taking place both on the track and in the weight room, the ALTIS Internship Program provides interns with scientific and practical education in all areas related to high-performance coaching, including:
- Methodology and systems
- Program design
- Periodization and planning
- Strength and power
- Basics of performance nutrition
- Acceleration development
- Performance Therapy
- Event-specific mechanics
It is the primary coach-development philosophy of ALTIS that learning should be active, self-directed, and interactive.
Program Outcomes
1. Gain Work Experience
Most young coaches all have their educational experience in common. What stands out to employers are students who ALSO have work experiences. The internship automatically makes you more marketable to potential employers - especially when the internship experience is with such a high-level of mentor coaches.
2. Network with professionals in your field
There is not a more experienced, more successful group of coaches working in the same Center anywhere in the world. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn from this accomplished group. It is true that it is about who you know. The hands-on real-world experiences that you encounter during your ALTIS Internship will enable you to develop your potential and make key contacts for future networking.
3. Develop new skills and refine others
Learn your strengths and weaknesses by creating learning objectives and receiving feedback from your Mentor Coach. This is a unique learning opportunity that you may never have again as a working adult.
4. Gain confidence in your abilities
The opportunity to work alongside not only an elite coaching group, but also with elite professional athletes will give you the confidence to apply your teachings once the Internship is finished. If the practice is good enough for this group, chances are it will be good enough for any other group in the world.
5. Access to BENEFITS AND RESOURCES
Interns will have participation in the Apprentice Coach Programs and Performance Therapy Programs that take place during your internship as well as access to ALTIS online education courses.
