Description:

We’re hiring a Sports Coach who’s committed to unlocking human potential — someone who understands that performance is physical, mental, and emotional, and trains all three with equal care. You’ll work closely with youth athletes, building confidence, motor skills, and a deep respect for teamwork and effort. You’ll develop game strategies, run drills, and guide players through conditioning programs tailored to their sport and goals. You’ll organize practices that are efficient, purposeful, and tailored to both team and individual growth. You’ll analyze performance, give feedback, and help athletes understand both their strengths and what they can improve. You’ll build trust through honest feedback, consistency, and the ability to push your athletes when they need it most. You’ll guide athletes through goal-setting, tracking progress, and learning from setbacks. We’ll rely on you to balance motivation with structure — pushing hard while always prioritizing safety and long-term health. You’ll monitor progress, adjust programs, and help athletes set and achieve personal performance goals.

Basic Qualifications:

• Teach fundamentals and advanced skills in a way that’s clear, engaging, and age-appropriate.
• Design and lead training sessions that build strength, skill, and strategy for athletes of all levels.
• Review game footage to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
• Motivate individuals and teams to push their limits while promoting discipline, focus, and sportsmanship.
• Lead by example in attitude, professionalism, and dedication—your energy sets the tone.

Preferred:

• Willing to coordinate with parents, athletic departments, or organizations regarding schedules and expectations.
• Committed to inclusivity, fairness, and character development in addition to athletic skill.
• Experience coaching individuals or teams in a specific sport such as football, basketball, tennis, or track and field.
• Pays attention to discipline, time management, and instilling a strong work ethic in athletes.
• Organized with team rosters, attendance, equipment, and tournament or game logistics.

Benefits:

• Respect from leadership — you’re not “just the coach”, you’re *the* coach.
• Work with athletes who *want* to be there — no forced PE vibes.
• Open environment — bring your music, your energy, your coaching personality.
• Your ideas matter — help shape the training programs, not just run them.
• Flexible schedule — train early birds or night grinders, your call.

You’ll also integrate mental training techniques like visualization, breathing, and performance routines into your coaching. We’ll support you with facilities, scheduling tools, and the freedom to bring your own coaching style to each client relationship. You’ll provide honest, constructive feedback — and help athletes turn setbacks into motivation. This role is perfect for someone who sees progress not just in scores, but in posture, attitude, and self-belief. You’ll have a direct impact on your athletes’ development, confidence, and sense of belonging. We’ll support you with training resources, equipment, and the freedom to bring your coaching style to life. If you believe coaching is about connection, not control — and progress is built one day at a time — we want you on our team. Let’s build athletes who compete with heart, think with clarity, and carry themselves with pride.
