[Hiring] Student Wellness Coach @Texas Sports Academy Main

Role Description

We're hiring a Student Wellness Coach to help students build the confidence, focus, and resilience they need to perform at a high level in school and in sport. This is a non-clinical coaching and mentorship role focused on mindset, motivation, and everyday skills, not therapy, diagnosis, or treatment.

This is an entry-level role. If you're fresh out of school or have a year or two of experience, we want you to apply.

• Confidence & Resilience Coaching: Help students build practical skills for handling performance pressure, peer dynamics, and the normal ups and downs of being a young athlete in a high-standards environment.
• Partner With Coaches and Guides: Share relevant, day-to-day observations with the adults around each student to support them well while respecting each student's privacy.
• Parent Communication: Keep parents informed on their student's engagement, progress, and goals, and discuss how the family can reinforce what's happening at school.
• Tech Platform Support: Help students navigate the TSA learning platform to stay focused on academics and athletics, addressing common issues and questions.
• Small-Group Workshops: Lead group sessions on practical topics like bouncing back from a loss, managing pre-competition nerves, time management, and healthy competition.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree: A bachelor's degree is required to apply; psychology, education, kinesiology, social work, sports science, or a related field is a plus.
• 0 to 2 years of experience is exactly what we're looking for. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• You're Good With Kids: You can engage with students of various ages and read emotional cues well.
• Strong Listening Skills: You allow students to express themselves fully and ask insightful questions.
• Comfortable in an Athletic Environment: You understand the dynamics of competition and training.
• Clear Written and Verbal Communication: You can provide concise and professional updates for parents or coaches.

Requirements

• Location: Remote (U.S. ONLY).

Bonus Points

• Coursework or Experience With K-12 Students: Practicums, school program internships, youth program volunteering, or camp counselor work.
• Background in Sports or Athletics: Experience in competitive sports and an understanding of its demands on young people.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish): Helpful for connecting with the full range of families on our campus.

Benefits

• Be part of a small, mission-driven team building something different in K-12 education.
• Receive real mentorship and responsibility.
• Opportunity to shape how mental and emotional development is integrated into daily school life.
• Great opportunity for someone early in their career to do meaningful work with young people.
