Job Description
This role is for someone who wants to coach student‑athletes—not teach them. There are no lesson plans to write, no content to deliver, and no assignments to grade. What remains is the part that drives real growth: building trust, holding accountability, and helping someone break through their own perceived limits. At Texas Sports Academy, we operate a virtual program where student‑athletes progress through self‑directed academic applications while simultaneously building life skills and pursuing athletic development. You'll meet with your assigned cohort each week in virtual 1:1 and small‑group formats. Your role is to shape their priorities, maintain accountability, and identify disengagement early. The effectiveness of your sessions depends entirely on your presence and relationship‑building—not on what's displayed on the screen. The work breaks down into three core areas: conducting coaching sessions that sustain forward momentum, analyzing progress data to trigger proactive intervention when gaps appear, and facilitating structured virtual workshops focused on mindset and life skills. You'll work fully remotely from Texas, with quarterly in‑person gatherings held in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating virtual 1:1 and small‑group coaching sessions that help student‑athletes prioritize effectively, maintain accountability, and stay actively engaged. Reviewing progress data from learning platforms to spot disengagement or performance gaps before they escalate. Taking direct action when a student begins to fall behind—adjusting your coaching method, restoring momentum, and guiding them back on course. Delivering structured virtual workshops centered on mindset, life skills, and personal development, with active student participation as the key success indicator. Establishing trust with each student‑athlete so that accountability discussions are received as support rather than enforcement. What You Won’t Be Doing
