5 Tool Performance is a baseball development facility with 17,000 sq ft. of turf and gym space. We are conveniently located off of 3 major highways in Westwood, MA. We are a start‑up so every hire shoulders multiple roles and there is a lot of learning on the job. Great diversity of tasks and roles. Expectations are discussed during the interview process to make sure objectives and goals are clear.

Our goal is to train players to understand what it means to compete, how to perform, and to execute in stressful and tough situations. We want mentally tenacious coaches/mentors/instructors who understand the real challenge is to help others navigate through their own setbacks. We value coaches and instructors who have experience playing at the higher levels so there is compassion and understanding of how to work through tough moments.

Development is one little drop in a big brown jug and takes a long time to develop a player – we must exercise patience and pay attention to detail, which can be tedious but very rewarding. We also look for organized minds to teach the technical, the mechanics and how to bring the game together.

The crew of instructors we have on board full time are fierce competitors, so it is not about the outcome but about the journey of training, the struggle, the successes and the ability to make adjustments along the way. Communication becomes paramount as we need to work together as a team to create a culture that speaks to excellence, integrity, and good sportsmanship.

We need to be mentally, emotionally and physically available for our clients. For those interested in this role, you will give a lot to our growing client base. We will bring you on part‑time for 3 months first as a trial for both parties, and depending on how things develop, there will be a full‑time opportunity in the range of $50K‑$65K plus a bonus and 5 Tool Shares (all performance based and evaluated upfront).

• Solid communication skills: ability to share and express theories, concepts and ideas through writing and presentation.
• Analytical capacity: to understand baseball specifics and to be able to break down the swing via gut feel and the eye test. Must build platforms for hitting styles, approach and draw conclusions from metrics.
• Team player: comfortable working with others in a group setting daily.
• Coach‑able: capable of taking criticism, feedback positively and making adjustments. Direct and honest with our client base and team.
• Passionate: obsessed with baseball and willing to work hours in a start‑up mode.
• Understands what failures/setbacks mean and how to rise.
• Confident and open‑minded: work with many styles and types of players, remain open‑minded, amenable to others’ opinions while maintaining personal identity.

Every instructor is expected to work weekends on a rotation as that is when our players need us most. We are hiring ASAP! Part‑time openings for spring/summer; evaluation for a full‑time position. Full‑time salary spans $50K‑$65K and offers opportunities for extras.

Depends on experience level and what you can bring to the table. Open to discuss in interview.
