Description
Are you ready to lead a cohort of student-athletes who need a coach, not a teacher — no lesson plans, no grading, no content delivery? This role is just the part of coaching that actually matters: accountability, trust-building, and watching someone push past what they thought they could do.
Texas Sports Academy runs a virtual program where student-athletes advance through self-directed academic apps while developing life skills alongside their athletic training. Your cohort attends virtual 1:1 and small-group sessions with you each week. You guide their priorities, hold accountability, and catch disengagement before it becomes a problem. The energy in your sessions is a direct reflection of your presence and trust-building — not the content on the screen.
Three things make up the work: coaching sessions that keep students on track, proactive intervention when progress data shows a gap, and structured virtual workshops on mindset and life skills. This is a fully remote role based in Texas, with quarterly in-person events in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.
If you've coached or mentored students or athletes and the best part was watching someone push past a limit they'd set for themselves, apply now.
What you will be doing
- Running virtual 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions to guide student-athletes on priorities, reinforce accountability, and keep engagement high
- Monitoring progress data from learning platforms and identifying disengagement or gaps before they compound
- Intervening directly when a student falls behind — adjusting your approach, rebuilding momentum, and ensuring recovery
- Leading structured virtual workshops on mindset, life skills, and personal development, with active participation as the measure of success
- Building trust with each student-athlete so accountability conversations feel earned, not imposed
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering curriculum or instructing academic content — students work through self-directed apps; your focus is engagement and follow-through
- Grading, lesson planning, or managing a course structure
- Waiting for students to flag a problem — you read the data and intervene first
- Running passive sessions where students are present but not engaged
Key responsibilities
Keep virtual student-athletes engaged, progressing academically, and building the life skills they need to succeed beyond the classroom.
Candidate requirements
- You've coached or mentored students or athletes — paid or volunteer
- You've led group sessions for students or athletes for at least 6 months
- You've worked in a role where you set goals and tracked outcomes — and have the numbers to show for it (completion rates, performance improvements, or similar)
- You're comfortable running virtual sessions on Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, and have used a spreadsheet, LMS, or similar tool to track participant progress
- You've used an AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, or similar — at least once and can tell us how
- You're based in Texas and willing to attend one in-person event per quarter in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio
- You're eligible to work in the US without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience with learning management systems (Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or similar) or academic progress tracking tools
- Comfort adapting your coaching approach to different motivation profiles — you know when to push, when to pull back, and when to listen
