Performance Specialist Academic Internship-Summer 2019
Overview
We started EXOS in the late ‘90s with the belief that human performance is for all of us. We felt strongly about this but weren’t yet sure how to impact the most people. Rather than confining ourselves to established industries such as healthcare, corporate wellness, and sports performance, we’re interested in putting people in the best position to take control of their health so they can succeed at anything. And so, we created a category of one and that’s why we are recognized for our platform of achievement that any organization can use to help all of its people reach their potential.
We know that athletes’ careers evolve and their goals change, but the one constant is the demand for staying at the top of their game, and pushing it to new levels. That’s why we develop personalized game plans for athletes around the world at any point in their career. We’ve helped individuals and teams in just about every sport on the elite level as well as college, youth, and high school. Wherever athletes are preparing to compete, EXOS specialists are helping them get there — from club team tryouts and high school championships to renowned events like NFL combine, the Olympics, and the World Cup.
