Student Success Coach   $60,000 USD/year

Description

  • Hybrid Texas · W2 · $60K/yr

This role centers on coaching student-athletes who need guidance and accountability, not traditional instruction. You won't be delivering lessons, grading assignments, or preparing curriculum. Instead, you'll focus on what coaching is truly about: building trust, reinforcing accountability, and helping individuals exceed their own expectations.

At Texas Sports Academy, student-athletes progress through self-paced academic platforms while simultaneously building life skills and continuing their athletic development. Your cohort will meet with you weekly in virtual 1:1 and small-group formats. You'll help them prioritize effectively, maintain accountability, and identify disengagement early. The momentum and connection in your sessions depend entirely on your presence and ability to build trust — not on the material itself.

The work consists of three core elements: coaching sessions designed to keep students progressing, proactive intervention when data reveals a concern, and facilitated virtual workshops focused on mindset and life skills development. This is a remote position based in Texas, requiring quarterly in-person participation at events in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.

If you've worked with students or athletes and found the most rewarding moments came from watching them break through self-imposed barriers, we encourage you to apply.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating virtual 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions to help student-athletes set priorities, maintain accountability, and stay actively engaged
  • Reviewing progress data from learning platforms to detect signs of disengagement or academic gaps before they escalate
  • Taking direct action when a student begins to fall behind — adapting your coaching style, restoring momentum, and supporting their recovery
  • Facilitating structured virtual workshops centered on mindset, life skills, and personal growth, where active student participation defines success
  • Establishing trust with each student-athlete so that accountability feels collaborative rather than corrective

What you will NOT be doing

  • Teaching academic content or delivering instructional material — students advance through self-directed applications; your role is to sustain engagement and ensure follow-through
  • Creating lesson plans, grading work, or organizing course structures
  • Reacting only when students raise concerns — you'll analyze data proactively and intervene before issues grow
  • Conducting sessions where students attend but remain disengaged

Key responsibilities

Maintain engagement, academic progress, and life skill development among virtual student-athletes, preparing them for success beyond academics.

Candidate requirements

  • You have experience coaching or mentoring students or athletes, whether paid or volunteer
  • You have facilitated group sessions for students or athletes for a minimum of 6 months
  • You have worked in a role involving goal-setting and outcome tracking — and can provide measurable evidence (such as completion rates, performance gains, or comparable metrics)
  • You are proficient in running virtual sessions using Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, and have experience using spreadsheets, an LMS, or similar 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 able to participate in one in-person event per quarter in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio
  • You are authorized to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with learning management systems (such as Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or similar) or tools designed to track academic progress
  • Ability to tailor your coaching style to individual motivation profiles — recognizing when to encourage, when to ease off, and when to simply listen
