Description
ELITE LEADERSHIP COACH: TRANSFORM STUDENT-ATHLETES INTO CHAMPIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a full-time, in-person employee role located at our Austin, Texas campus. Relocation assistance is available.
Sports Academy is revolutionizing education by fusing AI-driven academics with intensive sports training. We're not seeking ordinary educators—we're assembling a league of exceptional leaders who can inspire greatness in both our Guides and students. Your proven ability to elevate team performance and nurture untapped potential makes you the ideal architect for our next generation of champions.
At our pioneering K-8 institution in Austin, we believe the most valuable life skills—leadership, teamwork, resilience—are best forged through sports. Our cutting-edge approach pairs adaptive learning technology with motivational strategies firmly rooted in learning science. The result? Students who don't just succeed academically but develop the mental fortitude and character that defines true champions.
You've consistently achieved what others deemed impossible. Whether breaking records in athletics or transforming organizations, you've mastered the art of setting audacious goals and building the path to reach them. Now, we offer you the opportunity to channel that expertise into reshaping education and mentoring our team of Guides who directly impact young lives daily.
What you will be doing
- Elevate Guide Performance - Deliver personalized, actionable coaching to your team of Alpha Guides, dramatically improving their effectiveness and directly enhancing student achievement metrics.
- Develop Elite Training Systems - Create comprehensive Guide Playbooks that codify best practices, innovative facilitation techniques, and strategic approaches to learning challenges.
- Transform Reluctant Learners - Lead a select cohort of students, applying your expertise to convert hesitation into hunger for achievement and excellence.
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating Basic Curriculum - Your mission transcends routine lesson planning. While Guides facilitate learning through adaptive technologies, you'll be elevating their capabilities, teaching them to design high-impact enrichment activities, and instilling the energy that transforms ordinary sessions into extraordinary experiences.
- Compromising Excellence - Standards exist for a reason. Whether enforcing our 100% mastery requirement or facilitating a 6th grader's access to college coursework, your commitment to excellence remains unwavering.
- Conducting Traditional Training - Forget lecture-based professional development. Your coaching methodology will exemplify the enthusiasm, energy, and expert facilitation skills you expect from your team.
Key responsibilities
Train and develop a team of Guides to implement the Sports Academy system with world-class excellence, ensuring our unique educational model produces exceptional student-athletes who excel both academically and in character development.
