VCU STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING INTERNSHIPS
The VCU Strength and Conditioning Department offers internships
for both undergraduate and graduate students. Potential interns do
not need to be VCU students. Students from around the area are
welcome to apply. During your internship experience at VCU you will
gain practical experience developing VCU athletes. We take great
pride in providing knowledge that students use well after their
time at VCU. Whether your chosen profession is coaching, athletic
training or physical therapy, you will be given the necessary tools
to design and implement programs, correct technical flaws in weight
lifting technique, motivate athletes and become time efficient. If
you are interested in becoming part of the VCU Athletics Family,
