Salary:
$200
per hour
Contract type: Full time
Remote
Have you seen the impossible choices young athletes and their families face between academic excellence and athletic development? That brutal 5AM practice schedule, homework crammed into car rides, and the constant pressure to sacrifice one passion for another?
We believe it's time to stop asking kids to choose. We’re building a school that gets core academics done by lunch, freeing afternoons for serious athletic development. But this isn't just about time management—it's about recognizing that sports are one of the most powerful vehicles we have for building tomorrow's leaders.
We’ve launched the first model campus in Austin. Now we’re looking for a founder—not a theorist or a “coach with a great network,” but someone who has built and scaled a high-stakes venture from the ground up. Your mission: take a school that already works and transform it into a national model that families clamor to be part of. Make the Austin flagship so compelling it has a waitlist, a cult following, and a demand signal that makes expansion inevitable.
Then, turn that signal into a system. Codify the experience, build scalable operations, and lead the evangelism that makes this movement spread. If you’ve built a venture before, know what scale actually takes, and believe in the transformative power of youth sports—this is your next mission.
What You Will Be Doing
Transform our early-stage flagship into a high-demand, nationally replicable model that eliminates the academic-vs-athletics trade-off—and leads a movement to redefine what education looks like for tomorrow’s leaders.
Basic Requirements
Texas Sports Academy is Where Future Champions Excel in Academics and Athletics
Traditional schools force student-athletes to choose between excelling in academics or committing to their sport. Texas Sports Academy eliminates that tradeoff.
Their innovative K-8 model, based in Austin, TX, uses AI-driven learning to accelerate academics, allowing students to master core subjects in just two hours a day.
The rest of their day is dedicated to athletic training, skill-building, and personal development - so students excel in both their studies and their sport.
By integrating advanced educational technology with structured sports training, they provide a unique learning experience that builds discipline, leadership, and resilience.
It's academics and athletics in perfect sync.
There is so much to cover for this exciting role, and space here is limited. Hit the Apply button if you found this interesting and want to learn more. We look forward to meeting you!
