Sports Performance Coach, Sports Academy

• $150,000 annually, with weekly pay. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage from day one
• On-site position in Austin, TX
• Relocation assistance available

Reaching the pinnacle of sport—whether as an Olympian, World Champion, or D1 First Team All-American—demands extraordinary discipline. The question is: can you take those championship lessons and turn them into coaching methods that drive students toward excellence?

Texas Sports Academy is where your competitive career evolves into active mentorship. You won't be watching from the sidelines or simply recounting your achievements. Instead, you'll convert elite performance principles into motivational tools, guide resilience-building through direct instruction, and lead rigorous training sessions where students are held to the same standards you lived by.

Austin provides year-round outdoor facilities, a dynamic sports environment, and a purpose-centered community where your proven track record becomes the blueprint for developing tomorrow's leaders.

Lead with intention. Inspire through engagement. Submit your application today.

• Conducting proactive one-on-one coaching sessions where you transform athletic discipline into concrete, actionable strategies for student success
• Delivering high-energy morning assemblies that activate and inspire the entire student community
• Leading interactive life skills workshops where you coach students directly through exercises focused on resilience, leadership, and goal achievement
• Directing structured afternoon athletic training sessions that embody championship principles: creating drills, demanding maximum effort, refining technique, and instilling grit and collaboration through sport (not merely overseeing activities)
• Engaging proactively with students across the day: moving through the space during independent study, stepping in to motivate when a student struggles, and seizing opportunities to create moments that spark transformational thinking

• Observing passively from a distance: this is an active coaching position, not a symbolic one. You'll be on the ground, directly engaging students, leading sessions, and responding in the moment.
• Delivering conventional academic instruction or adhering to lesson plans: students work through adaptive digital platforms. Your focus is life coaching, motivational guidance, and teaching transferable skills through athletics and mentorship.

• We are looking for former elite athletes who have competed at the highest levels — Olympians, World Champions, professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, or NHL, or NCAA Division I All-Americans
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Documented experience applying sport as a vehicle for mentoring and coaching life skills
• Evidence of motivational leadership in athletic, academic, or professional contexts
• Authorization to work in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship
• Open to living in or relocating to Austin, TX
