D1 Training Indian Land is an independently owned and operated, results-driven athletic training facility serving youth athletes ages 7–18, adults, teams, and high-performance athletes.

Our mission is simple:
You pick the goal, we help you get there.

We combine elite coaching, a team-first culture, and proven training systems to help every athlete improve. D1 Training Indian Land is focused on expanding its personal training business, securing more team-training partnerships, and building a stronger elite and professional athlete pipeline throughout the greater Charlotte market.

This is not a coaching, front-desk, employee, or management position.

We are seeking an independent Sports Performance Business Development Consultant to drive new revenue by developing relationships with athletes, families, schools, teams, clubs, sports organizations, agents, coaches, and other referral partners.

The consultant will focus on generating business across three primary revenue channels:

• Personal Training: Recruit youth, adult, collegiate, and competitive athletes for one-on-one and small-group training.
• Team & Organizational Partnerships: Develop relationships with schools, AAU programs, travel teams, clubs, academies, and other sports organizations for team training, facility rentals, camps, clinics, and performance programs.
• Elite & Professional Athlete Development: Build referral pipelines for collegiate, professional, free-agent, combine, pro-day, and other high-performance athletes through relationships with agents, coaches, trainers, schools, and professional sports networks.

The consultant will independently identify prospects, develop relationships, and create qualified business opportunities for D1 Training Indian Land. D1 will retain responsibility for program pricing, contracts, athlete scheduling, coaching assignments, billing, collections, and service delivery.

This opportunity is best suited for an established sales or business-development professional who already has relationships within the Indian Land and Greater Charlotte sports community and is comfortable earning compensation based entirely on successfully generated revenue.
