From:Directory of Graduate Programs in Applied Sport Psychology (2008)Kevin L. Burke Michael L. Sachs Samantha J. Fry Sherry L. SchweighardtAppendix BA Word About InternshipsJessica Lutkenhouse, Psy.D.Lois A. Butcher-Poffley, M.Ed, Ph.D.Shelley A. Wiechman, Ph.D.Sam Maniar, Ph.D.Michael L. Sachs, Ph.D.Internships are an important component of sport psychology training that providesstudents with the opportunity to gain applied practical experience in the field of sportpsychology. They allow a person to employ what is learned in class in a supervisedenvironment, which is critical in order to further develop professional skills and assurequality practice. Internships are a part of the process of becoming an AASP certifiedconsultant, and are required by most graduate programs. Unfortunately, qualityinternships are hard to find. This Appendix was created to help students access aninternship that is in line with their graduate school requirements and future career goal.While reviewing this Appendix, please keep in mind that there is extensivevariability between masters and doctoral graduate program requirements, as well asresearch and applied (clinical and non-clinical) program requirements. Thus, some of theinformation included in this document may or may not apply to someone with yourintended training path and future career goals. To gain additional information oninternships, it may be helpful to contact the student representatives for the AmericanPsychological Association, Division 47 (Exercise and Sport Psychology) or the studentrepresentatives for the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). They may beable to further assist you in your search for a fulfilling internship. The questions beloware important to consider before looking through the list of internships:1. Is an internship a requirement for degree completion in your prospective orcurrent graduate program?2. Does your graduate program offer the internship, or help the students access one?If so, are internships available for all students?3. If you are interested in research or teaching courses in Sport Psychology, will yougain practical research and/or teaching experience on internship?4. If you are interested in applied work, will the internship offer direct experiencewith the population that interest you (e.g., young children, athletes with clinicaldisorders)?5. Is the internship APA-Accredited (applicable to someone in a clinical orcounseling psychology graduate program)? If not, will completing a nonaccredited internship prevent you from obtaining your career goals (see sectionbelow for more information)?6. How many hours of supervision does the internship offer? Is this consistent withyour graduate program's requirements for supervision?

7. What degree does the supervisor at the site have? Is this acceptable by yourgraduate program?8. Is the supervisor certified as an AASP consultant?9. Will you receive course credit for your internship work?10. How many hours per week is the internship? Is the time requirement realistic,considering other obligations you may have as a graduate student?11. Is the site in a geographical region that suits you?12. Does the site offer a stipend, benefits, or housing?Sport Psychology and Exercise and Sport Sciences InternshipsThe list provided below was originally developed by Dr. Sam Maniar for theAmerican Psychological Association’s Division 47 (Exercise and Sport Psychology)newsletter. In 2008, the list was updated by Dr. Jessica Lutkenhouse through use of theAPPIC website (which provides information about all pre-doctoral internships in clinicaland counseling psychology – see www.appic.org), the AASP listserv, and the AASPinternship database (provided by Dr. Chris Bader). Internship training directors werecontacted to obtain site-specific information. Dr. Lutkenhouse has remained in contactwith the directors, and the current edition of this appendix includes the updatedinformation from each site, as well as new internships that have emerged.Information regarding exercise and sport psychology internships is provided first,followed by the clinical and counseling psychology pre-doctoral internships that havesport psychology rotations. The latter list notes whether the internship site is APAAccredited or APPIC-Accredited. Depending on your career goals, this element isimportant to consider because some jobs require an APA-Accredited internshipexperience (e.g. certain Hospitals and Universities). Before applying, it may be a goodidea to contact the training director to find out the specifics about the particular programthat interests you, due to the fact that most APA-Accredited positions have minimal directexposure to individual athletes and teams. Some sites offer access to athletes as part oftheir internship experience, but it is usually in addition to the required clinical trainingactivities of the internship. Unless the site has a specific sport psychology rotation, it isunlikely to spend more than a few hours a week engaged in work with athletes due totime demands of other program requirements. The key below will help you determine ifworking with athletes is a defined rotation, or a component of the internship that isoffered in addition to the required training activities.Finally, two examples of different internships conclude this document to providestudents with a general idea of what an internship opportunity in sport psychology maylook like. The first is an exercise and sport psychology summer internship program (IMGAcademies – Mental Conditioning Division), which can be applied towards AASPcertification. The second is an APA-Accredited full year counseling center internship witha sport psychology rotation (Oklahoma Health Consortium), which is only offered tostudents enrolled in a clinical or counseling psychology doctoral program.KEY* Rotation (as part of training requirement interns must complete some type of rotation)# No defined rotation (consulting opportunities exist in addition to other requirements)
