Description:

We’re looking for a Sports Coach who leads with purpose, energy, and heart — someone who inspires athletes to grow both on and off the field. You’ll lead training programs designed to improve physical ability, tactical awareness, and mental toughness. You’ll develop game strategies, run drills, and guide players through conditioning programs tailored to their sport and goals. We expect you to teach fundamentals with clarity, correct mistakes with care, and motivate with respect. You’ll analyze match footage, identify technical gaps, and provide clear, actionable feedback to players. You’ll run sessions that are intense, efficient, and tailored to the level and ambition of your athletes. You’ll manage team dynamics, mediate conflicts, and promote sportsmanship at every turn. We’ll rely on you to balance motivation with structure — pushing hard while always prioritizing safety and long-term health. You’ll also help athletes build healthy habits — like hydration, stretching, rest, and balanced nutrition.

Basic Qualifications:

• Handle wins with humility and losses with perspective—modeling resilience at every step.
• Stay current on coaching certifications, rule changes, and training methodologies.
• Develop game strategies, plays, or techniques based on opponents and competition goals.
• Help athletes develop not just physical skill, but confidence, focus, and mental strength.
• Adapt coaching style to different personalities, learning styles, and motivation types.

Preferred:

• Capable of coaching both individuals and groups, depending on the training setting.
• Pays attention to discipline, time management, and instilling a strong work ethic in athletes.
• Knowledge of training techniques, game strategy, and rules specific to the sport being coached.
• Experience coaching individuals or teams in a specific sport such as football, basketball, tennis, or track and field.
• Able to enforce rules while maintaining a respectful and encouraging team environment.

Benefits:

• Athlete-first culture — we care more about growth than just wins.
• Athletes remember great coaches — your impact will last longer than the season.
• We back innovation — try new drills, tech, or even TikTok warm-ups.
• Mental health check-ins and burnout prevention tools included.
• Opportunities to travel for matches, camps, or tournaments — expenses covered.

You’ll also integrate mental training techniques like visualization, breathing, and performance routines into your coaching. You’ll use video analysis, modern training methods, and player assessments to track progress and set goals. You’ll work with youth, adults, or competitive athletes depending on your focus and experience. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on progress, celebrates effort, and sees coaching as a form of teaching. We value coaches who can build trust, inspire confidence, and create a space where athletes feel driven and supported. We value coaches who are professional, grounded, and adaptable — ready to work with athletes at every stage of development. If you see coaching as a long-term process that builds character as well as results — you’ll thrive with us. Let’s train athletes to be ready — physically, mentally, and completely — when it matters most.
