Strength & Conditioning Internship

KG ELITE PERFORMANCE STRENGTH & CONDITIONING INTERNSHIP

PROGRAMME

KG Elite Performance strength & conditioning internship programme will dramatically

improve your applied knowledge of strength & conditioning. The internship is specifically

aimed at those who want to work in elite sport and who want to up skill their knowledge in

order to do so. During the internship you will learn key technical coaching models on

important aspects of strength and conditioning such as weightlifting, speed and agility and

plyometric training. You will also learn how to identify typical compensations which occur

when performing these movement skills and what steps you need to take to correct them.

What separates KG Elite Performance internship programme from others is that we do not

want to create a “cook book” for our graduates. At KG Elite Performance, we want our

coaches to be excellent problem solvers so that they can analyse movement and improve

performance with correct exercise prescription. It would be of benefit if applicants are

currently pursuing or have a relevant qualification in Sports Science/Exercise

Science/Strength & Conditioning related field as information provided will be of a technical

nature.

The internship will be divided into four one day workshops.

Each workshop will cost €100.

Applicants will receive certification of completion at the end of the four workshops. The
