Performance Coach   $60,000 USD/year

Description

  • Hybrid Texas · W2 · $60K/yr

This role focuses on the essential elements of coaching: building accountability, establishing trust, and helping individuals surpass their perceived limits. There are no lesson plans to design, no grades to assign, and no content to teach.

At Texas Sports Academy, student-athletes progress through self-paced academic applications while simultaneously developing critical life skills and continuing their athletic training. Each week, your assigned cohort participates in virtual individual and small-group sessions led by you. You set priorities, maintain accountability structures, and identify early signs of disengagement. The effectiveness of your sessions depends on your ability to build trust and create presence — the on-screen content is secondary.

Your work consists of three core components: coaching sessions that maintain student momentum, data-driven intervention when performance metrics reveal concern areas, and facilitated virtual workshops addressing mindset and personal development. The position is fully remote and Texas-based, with quarterly in-person gatherings held in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.

If your coaching or mentoring experience has been most rewarding when you witness someone break through self-imposed barriers, submit your application now.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating virtual individual and small-group coaching sessions that clarify priorities, strengthen accountability, and sustain high engagement among student-athletes
  • Reviewing performance data from learning platforms to detect disengagement patterns or achievement gaps before they escalate
  • Taking direct action when students lose momentum — modifying your methods, restoring forward progress, and guiding recovery
  • Facilitating structured virtual workshops focused on mindset development, life skills training, and personal growth, with active engagement as the key success indicator
  • Establishing trust relationships with each student-athlete so that accountability discussions are received as earned guidance rather than external mandates

What you will NOT be doing

  • Teaching academic material or presenting curriculum — students advance through self-directed applications; your role centers on engagement and completion
  • Creating lesson plans, assigning grades, or administering course frameworks
  • Reacting only when students report issues — you analyze data and initiate intervention proactively
  • Conducting sessions where attendance replaces genuine participation

Key responsibilities

Maintain engagement, academic progression, and life skills development among virtual student-athletes, preparing them for success beyond academic environments.

Candidate requirements

  • You have coaching or mentoring experience with students or athletes — in paid or voluntary capacities
  • You have facilitated group sessions for students or athletes for a minimum of 6 months
  • You have worked in a position involving goal-setting and outcome tracking — with quantifiable results available (such as completion rates, performance gains, or equivalent metrics)
  • You are proficient in conducting virtual sessions via Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, and have experience using spreadsheets, LMS platforms, or comparable tools for tracking participant progress
  • You have used an AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, or similar — at least once and can describe the application
  • You are located in Texas and available to participate in one in-person event quarterly 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 (Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or similar) or academic progress monitoring tools
  • Ability to adjust your coaching methods based on varying motivation profiles — recognizing when to apply pressure, when to ease off, and when to simply listen
