My project consists of fulfilling an internship as a sports nutrition and athletic performance specialist at a amateur and professional athletes’ gym called Foothills Acceleration Sport Training (FAST) in Glendale, AZ. The culmination of this internship will be the growth of my knowledge and subsequent ability to contribute health and performance improving information to individuals and athletes who seek my services. This information will be disseminated generally via a blog, containing both my experiences and reflections, as well as any helpful information that may be pertinent or particularly useful or beneficial for those who will be viewing. Additionally, it will allow me to fulfill my dreams of being a health and fitness professional in a private setting, permitting quality 1-on-1 exposure and consequent experience to assist me in evolving into the professional I would like to become.

 

The internship will require between 10 and 20 hours per week of time spent learning intricacies related to fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness and health. By fulfilling these hours, I will be able to witness the dynamics that are found in some the most elite professionals in my intended career field.
