This role is for someone who wants to coach student-athletes, not teach them — no curriculum to design, no assignments to grade, no content to present. What matters here is building accountability, establishing trust, and helping someone exceed the limits they've placed on themselves.
Texas Sports Academy operates a virtual program in which student-athletes move through self-paced academic applications while strengthening life skills in parallel with their athletic development. Your cohort meets with you each week in virtual 1:1 sessions and small groups. You set priorities with them, maintain accountability, and detect disengagement early. The tone and effectiveness of your sessions depend entirely on your presence and ability to build trust — the academic content takes care of itself.
The work consists of three core components: coaching sessions that maintain student momentum, proactive responses when data reveals a gap in progress, and facilitated virtual workshops addressing mindset and life skills. This is a remote position based in Texas, requiring quarterly in-person attendance at events in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio.
If you've worked with students or athletes in a coaching or mentoring capacity and found the most rewarding moments came from watching someone break through a barrier they thought was fixed, submit your application now.
