Responsibilities

At Dark Horse Performance, as a strength and conditioning intern, I was responsible for leading warm-ups, demonstrating exercises, giving real-time feedback, maintaining weight room safety, and keeping the weight room clean.

Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment during the internship was building confidence to lead groups and individuals in the weight room.

Learning experience

The greatest lesson I learned is that you never know what someone is going through outside of the weight room. For that reason, I try to be a positive aspect of each kid's day.

What advice would you give?

Get involved in research or clubs
