Rise-n-Lead Internship

What we will be teaching in the internship is a compilation of skills and tools Coach Hannah has gathered over almost a decade of teaching and traveling around the world learning about parkour and parkour coaching. She's taken two 5 Day courses (Boston and PA), numerous one day courses (Boston), and attended a variety of classes, jams, and events in various parkour communities (nationally and internationally) to learn and compile what she will be teaching.

We are excited to continue growing and developing the internship element of Parkour East Texas. We are thrilled to have new interns join Cohort 2. We had an absolute blast last summer and saw tremendous growth in the participants. We are eagerly anticipating what the new year and group of interns will bring!

Build Confidence

We help interns move from the beginner mindset into the intermediate and then advanced mindset. We help them see how far they have come and specific ways they have progressed! Interns also have many opportunities to interact with newer students which helps them realize their progress even more.

Develop Leadership Skills

Interns begin in February coaching their peers. They are taught how to always be thinking about their coaching through the lense of "What did I do good?" and "What would I like to do better next time?". Interns become aware of new ways to demonstrate leadership and receive hands on practice developing their ability to find ways to lead and step up.

Further Personal Parkour Journey

As we coach others, we become more aware of movement elements and discover new ways we can make our own movement cleaner, swifter, and more accurate. Interns also participate in a monthly team training session designed to challenge and push them in new ways!

Become a Community Leader

Newer students look up to our interns; especially when they begin the hands on coaching elements in June and July. Interns are also a part of the inner core that keeps Parkour East Texas beating and we implement them in various ways to continue developing the parkour community in East Texas.

Parkour East Texas Goals

 We are so thankful to play a major role in expanding parkour in East Texas. The interns are a key player in this. Our Parkour community and growth is only as strong the individuals that make us up!
