Camp Counselor $30 USD/hour
Description
- Location: Texas Sports Academy, Lake Travis (Austin), TX — on-site position
- Compensation: $30/hr | 15–30 hours weekly | Full-time track available at $60,000 annually + benefits
- Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM (flexible within school hours)
Two hours for academics. Not two hours of classroom instruction — two hours of focused, student-directed work, followed by athletic training for the remainder of the day. The compression is intentional, and it only succeeds when every minute is protected.
This is the role. You are responsible for the operational mechanics of a student-athlete's daily structure: the academic session begins on time and remains efficient, materials and equipment are staged before anyone arrives, and a student who loses focus at the forty-minute mark is redirected before the session is compromised. You then reset the space and repeat the process for afternoon training and athlete-development sessions.
If you expect "assistant" to mean observing from the sidelines and intervening only when problems escalate, this role is different. From day one, you are operationally engaged — monitoring the environment, applying TSA-approved motivational strategies (positive reinforcement, structured prompts, immediate redirection), and preparing each session so the Coach can begin without delay.
You will collaborate with Coaches and partner trainers across classrooms, gyms, and training facilities. As your fluency in TSA's model increases, so does your ownership — and for the right candidate, the progression to Coach is straightforward. Apply today.
What you will be doing
- Managing student-athlete transitions across academic blocks, training sessions, and workshops (approximately 30% of time): tracking the clock, cueing students to move, and using positive reinforcement to maintain orderly, punctual transitions
- Staging session materials in advance by collecting academic supplies, workshop resources, and training equipment, arranging them according to the session plan, and verifying that setup aligns with the Coach's specifications before the session starts
- Supporting student-athlete engagement throughout the two-hour academic block and afternoon training (approximately 40% of time) by observing participation, catching disengagement early, and redirecting students using TSA-approved methods without disrupting instruction
What you will NOT be doing
- Observing passively from the perimeter until a problem emerges — this position demands active presence and real-time operational decisions throughout the school day
- Coaching athletes, designing training programs, or leading drills; training plans are the responsibility of Coaches and partner trainers
- Creating lesson plans, developing activity sequences, or owning academic outcomes (those belong to the Coach)
- Improvising behavioral strategies; TSA's motivational techniques are standardized and you will apply them as trained
- Handling facility maintenance, carpool coordination, or after-hours programming; your focus is session operations during school hours
Key responsibilities
Maintain the operational flow of Texas Sports Academy's academic and training day so Coaches remain focused on instruction and athletic development.
