Job description

Texas Sports Academy is a K-12 school designed for serious student-athletes who want both elite academics and high-level athletic development. Students cover 2x the material in just 2 hours a day, using the same 2-Hour Learning model as Alpha Schools. That frees up their entire afternoon for serious training, where they work alongside former pro and D1 athletes coaching them at the highest standard.
We are hiring a D1 Football Youth Mentor to work one-on-one with student-athlete over video, splitting your time evenly between academic guidance and sports mentorship. You are the steady adult in their day: sitting with them through their academic hours, holding the standard on focus and effort, and then using your Division I football experience to shape how they think about training, competition, and the life of a student-athlete.
What You'll Do
  • Guide Students Through Their Academic Day: Meet with your students over video during their academic hours, keep them focused and on task, and help them move through their learning at pace.
  • Mentor Them as an Athlete: Use your Division I football background to talk with them about the mental game, training habits, what real recruiting looks like, and how to balance school with serious sport.
  • Build a Real Relationship: Be the steady, credible adult they look to for guidance, accountability, and honest feedback across both school and sport.
  • Support Their Learning: Help them navigate the learning platform, work through hard material, and build the study and time-management habits that carry them forward.
  • Reinforce Standards: Hold the line on effort, focus, and how they carry themselves. Give direct feedback when it is needed and give real praise when it is earned.
  • Communicate With Parents and Staff: Give parents and the academy clear, honest updates on how the student is doing academically, how they are showing up as an athlete, and what they need next.

Requirements
  • Division I Football Background: You competed in football at the Division I level. Your athletic experience is central to how you mentor, not a footnote on your resume.
  • Real Experience Working With Kids: You have worked with young people in a role where you were responsible for their focus, growth, or development. Coaching, tutoring, mentoring, camp counseling, teaching, or similar hands-on work.
  • Judgment With Young Athletes: You know how to earn trust with a kid, hold the standard, give direct feedback, and read the room when something is off.
  • Strong Communicator: You are clear and steady on video, comfortable running a one-on-one session, and able to give parents and staff useful updates in writing.
  • Reliable and Organized: You show up on time, follow through, and keep track of what your student needs next.
  • Location and Setup: Remote (U.S.). Reliable internet and a quiet space you can run video sessions.

Bonus Points
  • Recent Graduate: You finished your college athletic career in the last few years and the student-athlete experience is fresh.
  • Coaching or Camp Experience: You have coached youth football, run a camp, or worked with kids in a structured athletic setting.
  • Teaching or Tutoring Background: You have taught, tutored, or led a classroom before.
  • Comfortable With Modern Tools: You are comfortable working across video, learning platforms, and messaging tools without much ramp-up.

Benefits
Pay: $25/hour
