This role is for someone ready to coach a cohort of student-athletes—not teach them. There are no lesson plans to write, no assignments to grade, and no curriculum to deliver. What you will do is the part of coaching that counts: building accountability, earning trust, and helping someone break through barriers they didn't think they could.
Texas Sports Academy operates a virtual program in which student-athletes progress through self-directed academic applications while building life skills in parallel with their athletic development. Each week, your cohort joins you for virtual 1:1 and small-group sessions. You set priorities, maintain accountability, and identify disengagement early. The effectiveness of your sessions depends entirely on your presence and the trust you build—not on the material students are viewing.
The work breaks down into three components: coaching sessions that sustain student momentum, proactive intervention triggered by progress data, and structured virtual workshops focused on mindset and life skills. You'll work remotely from Texas, with in-person events held quarterly in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.
If you've worked with students or athletes and found the most rewarding moments in watching someone exceed their own expectations, this role is for you. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Conducting virtual 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions to help student-athletes prioritize effectively, maintain accountability, and stay engaged
- Reviewing progress data from learning platforms to spot disengagement or performance gaps early
- Taking direct action when a student begins to fall behind—adapting your methods, restoring momentum, and guiding recovery
- Facilitating structured virtual workshops on mindset, personal development, and life skills, with active engagement as the key success metric
- Establishing trust with each student-athlete so that accountability feels mutual and earned, not top-down
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching academic content or delivering curriculum — students advance through self-directed applications; you focus on engagement and follow-through
- Creating lesson plans, assigning grades, or managing course structures
- Waiting for a student to report a problem — you monitor the data and intervene proactively
- Facilitating sessions where students attend but remain disengaged
Key responsibilities
Ensure virtual student-athletes remain engaged, continue progressing academically, and develop the life skills necessary for success beyond the classroom.
Candidate requirements
- You have experience coaching or mentoring students or athletes, whether paid or volunteer
- You have led group sessions for students or athletes for a minimum of 6 months
- You have worked in a capacity where you established goals and monitored outcomes — and can provide quantifiable results (e.g., completion rates, performance gains, or equivalent metrics)
- You are proficient in running virtual sessions via Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, and have experience using spreadsheets, an LMS, or comparable tools to track 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 attend one in-person event each 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 used to track academic progress
- Ability to adjust your coaching style based on individual motivation profiles—recognizing when to challenge, when to ease off, and when to simply listen
