- Hybrid Texas · W2 · $60K/yr
This role focuses on the core of coaching: building accountability, earning trust, and helping student-athletes exceed their own expectations. You won't write lesson plans, deliver content, or assign grades. Instead, you'll guide a cohort of student-athletes who need structure, momentum, and someone who notices when they're falling off track.
At Texas Sports Academy, student-athletes progress through self-directed academic platforms while developing life skills that complement their athletic training. Your cohort connects with you weekly through virtual 1:1 and small-group sessions. You'll set priorities, reinforce commitment, and intervene early when engagement slips. The tone and energy of your sessions come from your ability to build trust and maintain presence — not from the material students are working through.
Your work breaks into three areas: coaching sessions that drive consistency, proactive intervention based on progress indicators, and facilitated virtual workshops covering mindset and life skills. You'll work remotely from Texas, with quarterly in-person events held 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 ceiling, this role is worth your attention.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating virtual 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions to clarify priorities, hold students accountable, and sustain high engagement
- Reviewing progress data from learning platforms and spotting disengagement or performance gaps early
- Stepping in when a student loses momentum — adjusting your strategy, reestablishing drive, and guiding them back on track
- Delivering structured virtual workshops focused on mindset, life skills, and personal growth, where active engagement defines success
- Cultivating trust with each student-athlete so that accountability feels collaborative rather than enforced
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching academic content or delivering curriculum — students advance through self-paced apps; your role centers on engagement and execution
- Creating lesson plans, grading assignments, or managing course frameworks
- Reacting to issues only after students report them — you monitor data and act proactively
- Allowing sessions to become passive spaces where attendance doesn't equal participation
Key responsibilities
Ensure virtual student-athletes remain engaged, make consistent academic progress, and develop the life skills necessary for long-term success beyond academics.
Candidate requirements
- You've coached or mentored students or athletes in a paid or volunteer capacity
- You've facilitated group sessions for students or athletes for a minimum of 6 months
- You've worked in a role involving goal-setting and outcome tracking — and can provide measurable results (completion rates, performance gains, or equivalent)
- You're proficient with virtual meeting platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, and have tracked participant progress using spreadsheets, an LMS, or comparable tools
- You've used an AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, or similar — at least once and can describe the use case
- You're located in Texas and able to attend one in-person event per quarter in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio
- You're 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 tools designed for tracking academic progress
- Ability to flex your coaching style based on individual motivation — recognizing when to challenge, when to ease off, and when to simply listen
