Student Success Coach $60,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
This role asks you to coach a cohort of student-athletes who need structure and accountability — not instruction. There are no lesson plans to write, no grades to assign, and no curriculum to deliver. Instead, your focus is entirely on what coaching is meant to be: building trust, creating accountability, and helping someone break through their own ceiling.
At Texas Sports Academy, student-athletes progress through self-directed academic platforms while simultaneously developing life skills that complement their athletic training. They meet with you weekly in virtual 1:1 and small-group formats. You set priorities with them, maintain accountability, and identify disengagement early. The tone and momentum of your sessions depend entirely on the trust and presence you establish — not on what appears on the screen.
The work breaks into three core activities: facilitating coaching sessions that sustain forward momentum, using progress data to intervene before gaps widen, and running structured virtual workshops focused on mindset and personal development. You'll work fully remotely from Texas, with quarterly in-person gatherings held in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.
If you've worked with students or athletes and the most rewarding moments came when you watched someone exceed their own expectations, this role is worth your attention.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating virtual 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that clarify priorities, strengthen accountability, and sustain high engagement among student-athletes
- Reviewing progress data from learning platforms to detect disengagement or performance gaps early, before they escalate
- Stepping in directly when a student begins to fall behind — adapting your methods, reestablishing momentum, and supporting their recovery
- Delivering structured virtual workshops on topics including mindset, life skills, and personal development, with active student participation as the key success indicator
- Cultivating trust with each student-athlete so that accountability discussions are received as support, not criticism
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching academic content or delivering lessons — students advance through self-directed applications; you focus on engagement and follow-through
- Creating lesson plans, assigning grades, or administering course structure
- Reacting to problems only after students raise them — you monitor the data and intervene proactively
- Conducting sessions where students attend but remain disengaged
Key responsibilities
Maintain engagement, academic progress, and life skill development for a cohort of virtual student-athletes, ensuring they build the capabilities needed for success beyond academics.
Candidate requirements
- You have experience coaching or mentoring students or athletes, whether paid or in a volunteer capacity
- You have facilitated group sessions for students or athletes for a minimum of 6 months
- You have worked in a position where you defined goals and measured outcomes — and can provide data to demonstrate results (such as completion rates, performance gains, or equivalent metrics)
- You are proficient in running virtual sessions using Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, and have experience using spreadsheets, learning management systems, or comparable tools to monitor participant progress
- You have used an AI tool — such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, or similar — at least once and can describe the use case
- You are located in Texas and available to participate in one in-person event each quarter in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio
- You are authorized to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Familiarity with learning management systems (such as Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or similar) or tools designed for tracking academic progress
- Ability to adjust your coaching style based on individual motivation profiles — recognizing when to apply pressure, when to ease off, and when to simply listen
