TDAE Apprenticeship Program

An internship at TD Athletes Edge will provide apprentices with the opportunity to work under the supervision of our experienced and qualified staff of strength & conditioning coaches. Our team has experience working in a wide variety of settings, including professional sports, collegiate sports, high school sports, sports medicine and the private sports performance training setting.

TDAE's unique business model offers clients the unique experience of a semi-private and hands-on training environment. With a 1:4 coach to client ratio, members receive individualized training while also working out alongside fellow athletes. Interns will have the opportunity to experience our personalized coaching model while also becoming more familiar with the finer details of strength and conditioning coaching and basic program design.

Under the supervision and guidance of our team, interns will be able to observe and assist with a variety of athletes from all walks of life, including: high school athletes, collegiate athletes, professional athletes and endurance-based athletes. They will also have the chance to participate in weekly coaching classroom sessions focused on continuing education, which will complement the hands-on learning and coaching received on the training floor. We pride ourselves on paying it forward and educating participants in our internship program, since we believe this guidance and direction will ultimately help each intern advance their career into the fitness industry.
