Athletes Soul and some of its members offer work experiences to competing and retiring athletes and student-athletes. Our goal is to provide competing athletes with some work experience prior to entering the world place and retiring from sport.
These virtual and flexible opportunities are especially designed for athletes. They aren't like any other internships. We offer you the option to work closely and directly with a former athlete who is a member of our community. These ex-athletes understand what it means to be an athlete and the importance of providing you with meaningful and practical work and a flexible schedule and workload.
All our work opportunities are unpaid work, flexible and remote. Some can be used for university credits.
