Description
- Hybrid Texas · W2 · $60K/yr
This role isolates the coaching work that matters most: building accountability, establishing trust, and guiding someone to exceed their own expectations. You won't deliver lessons, grade assignments, or plan curriculum. Instead, you'll coach a cohort of student-athletes through the parts of development that actually drive results.
At Texas Sports Academy, student-athletes progress through self-paced academic applications while simultaneously developing essential life skills and continuing their athletic training. You'll meet with your cohort in weekly virtual 1:1 and small-group formats. Your role centers on guiding priorities, maintaining accountability, and identifying disengagement early. The effectiveness of your sessions depends on your ability to build trust and bring presence — not on the material displayed on the screen.
The work consists of three core elements: coaching sessions that maintain student momentum, proactive intervention based on progress metrics, and facilitated virtual workshops focused on mindset and life skills. You'll work remotely from anywhere in Texas, with quarterly in-person gatherings in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.
If you've coached or mentored students or athletes and found the most rewarding moments in watching someone break through a self-imposed barrier, we encourage you to apply.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating virtual 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions to guide student-athletes in setting priorities, maintaining accountability, and sustaining engagement
- Tracking progress metrics from learning platforms and spotting disengagement or performance gaps before they escalate
- Taking direct action when a student loses momentum — adapting your coaching method, restoring drive, and ensuring they get back on track
- Facilitating structured virtual workshops that address mindset, life skills, and personal development, with student participation serving as the key success metric
- Establishing trust with each student-athlete so that accountability discussions are received as supportive, not authoritative
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching academic material or delivering curriculum — students advance through self-directed applications; you focus on engagement and execution
- Creating lesson plans, grading work, or administering course structures
- Reacting to problems only when students raise them — you monitor data and intervene proactively
- Conducting sessions where students attend but remain disengaged
Key responsibilities
Maintain engagement, academic progression, and life skills development for virtual student-athletes, preparing them for success beyond the classroom.
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 that involved goal-setting and outcome tracking — and can provide quantifiable evidence (completion rates, performance improvements, or comparable metrics)
- You are proficient in conducting virtual sessions via Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, and have experience using spreadsheets, LMS platforms, or similar tools to monitor participant progress
- You have used an AI tool — such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, or a similar platform — at least once and can describe how you used it
- You are located in Texas and available to attend 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 (Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or similar platforms) or tools for tracking academic progress
- Skill in adjusting your coaching style to suit different motivational profiles — recognizing when to challenge, when to ease pressure, and when to simply listen
