ELITE ATHLETES ONLY: Transform Your Championship Mindset Into Life-Changing Mentorship

If you have competed at the highest level (Olympian, world championship experience, D1 First Team All-American), you understand the discipline, grit, and mindset it takes to win. Your next arena could be the lives of high-potential student-athletes who need a mentor like you.

At Texas Sports Academy, we are building a school where sport is a core part of education. This is a hands-on, all-in role where you’ll use elite athletic experience to shape discipline, leadership, and academic focus in the next generation. You’ll lead high-energy motivational sessions, coach life skills through daily sport, and deliver mentorship that sticks because you’ve lived it.

If you’re ready to coach beyond the scoreboard and change lives at scale, we want to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Running daily morning kickoffs that energize and align student-athletes for the day ahead
• Leading 1:1 motivation sessions grounded in academic and personal progress
• Facilitating life skill workshops using storytelling, reflection, and interactive coaching
• Running afternoon athletic practices that build grit, teamwork, and accountability
• Tracking student progress and maintaining high standards for mindset and performance

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teaching in a traditional classroom setting
• Sitting on the sidelines as a passive observer
• Running unstructured, aimless practices
• Managing administrative paperwork or academic grading
• Coaching recreational or non-competitive athletes

Sports Performance Coach Key Responsibilities

Mentor high-potential student-athletes through daily coaching and motivational sessions that drive academic success and life-skill development using the discipline of elite sport.

Basic Requirements

• 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
• Bachelor's degree in any subject
• Proven experience using sport to mentor and coach life skills
• Demonstrated motivational leadership in athletic, academic, or professional settings
• Legal right to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
• Willing to live in or relocate to Austin, TX
