We have an exciting career opportunity for coaches out there. As our team is approaching full capacity of coached athletes, we are looking to bring on a new coach to join our team and work with athletes from around the world.

Here is a list of a few important characteristics, skills, and experiences in a prospective coach: 

• Cognitive skills and desire to learn

Specific knowledge, education and experience in any of the following areas would be considered a plus and is worth highlighting.

There is one requirement, without which your application will unfortunately not be considered, so please clarify your goals in this regard. 

• Ambition to eventually dedicate 50% to 100% of a full-time job to coaching. In practice, this means that you will want to coach a minimum of 10 athletes eventually. 

The work is on an independent contractor basis, where payment is based on the athletes coached. The work can be done remotely from anywhere in the world. More details about the nature of the work, compensation etc. will be given to serious applicants.
