D1 Hockey Player
Role Overview
Texas Sports Academy is a K-12 school designed for serious student-athletes who want both elite academics and high-level athletic development.
Students learn twice as fast as traditional schools in just 2 hours a day, using the same 2-Hour Learning model as Alpha School.
We are an AI-first school where AI is woven into how students learn, how the team works, and how we build and scale everything we do.
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’re hiring former NCAA Division I hockey players to mentor our student-athletes who play hockey.
You’ll work with several students through one-on-one video sessions, splitting your time between keeping them on track academically and guiding them as hockey players.
The job is built around what you lived as a D1 player: the training load, the travel, the pressure, and the work it takes to keep your grades up through all of it.
