Pitching Performance Coach - Application Collection

Tread Athletics • Charlotte, NC

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

Our Performance Coaches occupy a unique space in the player development world, training thousands of baseball players remotely year-round, from high schoolers to perennial MLB All-Stars, while also working with hundreds of athletes on-site at our state-of-the-art, 33,000 sq. ft. Headquarters in Charlotte, NC. This is not a seasonal gig with 12-hour days on the training floor and 11 PM close times. Our hybrid model gives you the continuity players need to actually develop, and the breathing room coaches need to dig into real problems and create sustained results. As you build toward a full athlete workload, you’ll own all foundational pillars of your players’ development: throwing biomechanics, programming, pitch design and analytics, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and the mental game.

Requirements

• 1–3+ years of experience coaching pitchers with a demonstrable track record of results
• High-level proficiency in throwing biomechanics
• Working knowledge of strength & conditioning, anatomy, pitch design, corrective exercise, and performance nutrition
• Collegiate playing experience or higher, with evidence of personal development
• 80-grade written and verbal communication skills. You can explain complex concepts clearly to a 16-year-old and a big leaguer in the same day

Nice To Haves

• Played at a high level and left the game hungry, not burned out.
• Miss competing, and coaching is how you channel that.
• Not looking for a 9-to-5. You want a craft to master, athletes to actually impact, and a team that pushes you to be better.
• Coached long enough to know what you don’t know, and that excites you instead of scaring you.
• Think in systems. When an athlete isn’t improving, your first instinct is to diagnose the problem, not defend your process.
• Want to be in a room with the best coaches in the country, people who will make you significantly better, faster than you would anywhere else.
• Want access to technology and data most coaches never touch, and the mentorship to actually know what to do with it.
• Want to work with elite athletes. Not just talk about it.
• Want to grow fast. Coaches here develop more in 12 months than most do in 5 years, because the feedback loops, resources, and talent around you are unlike anything else in the industry.

Responsibilities

• Manage, coach, and produce measurable results with your assigned athlete workload
• Participate in scheduled floor hours with in-house athletes

• Show up for company events and contribute to in-services, in-house research, and special projects as needed
