If you've competed at the highest level (Olympian, World Champion, D1 First Team All-American) you already know the discipline it takes to win. But can you translate those hard-won lessons into specific coaching strategies that transform students into high achievers?
At Texas Sports Academy, your next arena is shaping champions, not by standing on the sidelines, but by actively coaching and pushing students to break through their limits every day. You won't just share your story. You'll translate elite athletic discipline into actionable motivation techniques, teach resilience through hands-on workshops, and run high-energy practices where every student is held to championship standards.
Austin offers year-round outdoor training, a thriving sports culture, and a mission-driven community where your elite experience becomes the foundation for mentoring the next generation of leaders.

What you will be doing
- Leading proactive 1:1 motivation sessions where you translate your athletic discipline into specific, actionable coaching strategies
- Running high-energy morning kickoffs that engage the entire student body
- Facilitating hands-on life skill workshops where you actively coach students through resilience, leadership, and goal-setting exercises
- Running structured afternoon athletic practices that model championship values: designing drills, pushing effort, correcting form, and teaching grit and teamwork through sport (not just supervising play)
- Proactively engaging with every student throughout the day: circulating during independent learning time, jumping in to motivate when you see a student stuck, and creating teachable moments that drive breakthrough thinking
What you will NOT be doing
- Standing on the sidelines as a passive observer: this is not a ceremonial coaching role. You're on the floor, actively engaging with students, running sessions, and intervening in real-time.
- Teaching traditional academic subjects or following a curriculum: students learn via adaptive apps. Your role is life coaching, motivation, and teaching meta-skills through sport and mentorship.
Candidate requirements
- We’re seeking former elite athletes who have proven themselves at the very top of sport — Olympians, World Champions, pro players in the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, or NHL, or NCAA Division I All-Americans

- Demonstrated motivational leadership in athletic, academic, or professional settings
- Legal right to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
