I
have recommended NLP to anyone looking for an
internship. It was hands down the best experience that I could have
gotten. It directly applies to my life goals and anyone looking to
become a fitness instructor or strength & conditioning coach
will discover the same.
The environment was
professional in every sense of the word but
it was also laid back enough to feel comfortable in my development as
an intern and a professional. I've
applied everything that I have learned. I am ahead of everyone in my
classes because of the things I have learned.
I was able to get
real coaching experience in a very short
amount of time. I learned how to efficiently manage my time
and my
resources in order to give the athletes and clients a better experience.I
loved being able to take the lead role in coaching. I was a
little nervous at first but it was very rewarding to be able to develop
coaching and efficient client management skills. I also enjoyed
learning the administrative side of the business. |

will
be working with athletes and everyday populations in a controlled group
