NCSU Football Video Student Position: We are looking to add 2-4 students to our staff that would be interested in working with us beginning February 2023. We have a handful of Sport Management majors that have worked with us in the past and some that are currently in the program.
The position begins in February and wraps up for the semester in April. The biggest time commitment is in the fall, August-December. We film all practices, games and winter workouts. We also edit the videos in our Catapult video system to be used by coaches and players for analysis and game preparation. No experience is necessary as we train everyone on what we’re doing. Most importantly, we are looking for dependable and motivated people to join our crew.
We typically practice in the mornings when school is in session. We ask our students to not schedule class until 1:00pm, if possible. We look mostly for incoming or current freshmen, but aren’t opposed to current sophomores. This helps us with attrition, while allowing the students to gain advanced experience with longer employment.
This is a great position for someone to get their foot in the door within collegiate athletics. In the past two years we have had multiple students land Internships, Graduate Assistant and full-time positions with Power 5 football programs.
It is a paid position at $9.00 per hour. Other benefits include team-issued apparel, meals and the opportunity to travel with the team for road games. If interested, please contact Errol Seaver at ekseaver@ncsu.edu.
