Workplace: remote

Description

As a Virtual Guide with Texas Sports Academy Online, you play a key role in helping student‑athletes navigate our two‑hour‑a‑day academic model and integrated sports pathway. You will support families through our online platform, answer questions about the program, and ensure every athlete feels confident using our virtual tools and resources.

What you will be doing

Delivering 45–60 minute virtual life-skills workshops to K–12 students on topics like public speaking, focus, time management, teamwork, and feedback (highly interactive, never lecture-style).
Running daily or weekly virtual motivation sessions where you connect 1:1 or in small groups, review their progress in adaptive learning apps and dashboards, and push them to hit 100% of their weekly goals.
Using online mastery checks and short assessments to confirm students have truly learned each skill, not just logged in.
Building genuine relationships over video and chat so students trust you enough to accept coaching through resistance, distraction, and self-doubt.
Tracking student goal-completion and satisfaction metrics in virtual tools, then adjusting your approach when results fall short.

What you will NOT be doing

Delivering traditional academic instruction or lectures—core subjects are handled by adaptive software, not by you.
Writing lesson plans from scratch—your life-skills curriculum and workshop playbooks are provided; your job is to bring them to life with energy and storytelling online.
Managing parent relationships, operations, or school administration—program leads own those responsibilities so you can focus on students.
Grading homework or managing standardized test prep—our learning model is mastery-based, not test-prep-based.

Key responsibilities

Ensure every student you coach loves learning, masters essential life skills, and hits 100% of their academic goals through adaptive learning software.
Create a structured, distraction-free virtual environment where students stay engaged, contribute, and practice skills on camera and mic.
Use stories, examples, and real-world scenarios to make abstract skills like resilience, focus, and communication feel concrete and actionable.
Collaborate with other virtual guides to refine workshops, share best practices, and continuously improve the online student experience.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in any field.
Comfortable running engaging live sessions on Zoom or similar platforms (cameras on, high interaction, lots of cold-calling and facilitation).
Strong at building rapport through a screen—able to read the room virtually and adapt on the fly.
Legal authorization to work in the United States (no visa sponsorship).

Nice to have

Experience in youth development or athletics: coaching, camps, or programs where you were responsible for motivating kids to hit specific goals.
Track record of high personal achievement (competitive sports, academic honors, or leadership roles requiring sustained excellence).
Natural storytelling ability: you can hold a Zoom room of 10–15 students’ attention for an hour without raising your voice.
Experience turning disengaged or resistant students into active participants in online environments.
