Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment of the internship can not be narrowed down to a singular circumstance. The internship in its entirety was one of the best parts of EX SCI option at Iowa State University. I learned so much from what I want to do now, to the minor critiques in form that can have a large impact on someones lift, to new movements entirely from their over qualified head strength coach, Jay Dahl. To summarize, I guess I just liked having an impact on these young future hall-of-famers. It feels good at the end of the day knowing you helped someone out for the better.

What advice would you give?

Awesome learning staff, incredible experience, you can't end this internship without learning a LOT. Highly recommended and sought after internship. Just go for it, you'll thank yourself later.
