Elite Sports Mentor, Sports Academy (Remote) - $150,000/year USD

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

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an in-person role located on-site in Austin, TX.

If you've competed at the highest level (Olympian, world championship experience, D1 First Team All-American) you already know the discipline, grit, and mindset it takes to win. What if your next arena wasn't the field, court, or cage, but the lives of high-potential student-athletes who need a mentor like you?

At Texas Sports Academy, we're building the most innovative K–12 school in the country. A place where sport isn't a sideshow, but a core part of how we teach life. This isn't a classroom job, and it's not a casual coaching gig. It's a hands-on, all-in role where you'll use your 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 the kind of mentorship that sticks because you've lived it.

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 holding high standards for both 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

Elite Sports Mentor Key Responsibilities

• 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
