ELITE ESPORTS COACH WANTED: FORGE THE NEXT GENERATION OF DIGITAL CHAMPIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a full-time, in-person employee role located at our Austin, Texas campus. Relocation assistance is available.
At Sports Academy in Austin, we're revolutionizing education by fusing AI-powered academics with intensive esports training. Our K-8 students don't just play games—they develop championship mindsets that transcend both virtual and physical worlds.
We're not building casual gamers. We're developing strategic thinkers, team leaders, and resilient competitors who apply gaming principles to real-world success. Our cutting-edge adaptive learning platform ensures students progress at twice the rate of traditional education while mastering the digital skills that will define their future.
You've dominated in competitive gaming environments—either as a player, coach, or team builder. You understand that true excellence comes from the perfect balance of technical mastery, strategic thinking, and mental fortitude. Now it's time to translate your competitive edge into developing the next generation of digital athletes and leaders.
What you will be doing
- Elevate Guide Performance: Transform good instructors into exceptional ones through personalized coaching, actionable feedback, and strategic performance metrics that directly enhance student achievement.
- Develop Elite Training Systems: Create comprehensive Guide Playbooks that codify best practices, innovative teaching methodologies, and tactical approaches for overcoming learning obstacles in both esports and academics.
- Ignite Student Potential: Lead a select cohort of students, applying your expertise in competitive gaming psychology to transform reluctant learners into high-performing digital athletes with transferable skills.
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating Basic Curriculum: Your focus isn't on developing elementary gaming sessions or lesson plans. You'll be architecting advanced coaching frameworks that empower Guides to facilitate transformative learning experiences through our adaptive platforms.
- Compromising Excellence: At Sports Academy, standards are non-negotiable. Whether maintaining strict skill progression benchmarks or facilitating advanced opportunities for exceptional students, you'll uphold our commitment to uncompromising quality.
- Conducting Conventional Training: Forget tedious professional development sessions. Your coaching approach will model the same energy, strategic thinking, and engagement techniques that define elite esports environments.
