About the role
Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure. Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.
We're seeking an experienced professional athletics mentor to work with athletes training for and competing at the professional level. This role includes guiding athletes through athletic training, sport-specific skills, strength and conditioning, injury prevention, and nutrition and diet, as well as building performance coaching and mental toughness ahead of tryout preparation. Mentors also support the business side of an athletic career, including personal branding, media training, endorsement and sponsorship strategy, contract negotiation, and networking strategy, along with guidance on career transition and freelancing for athletes planning beyond competition. Ideal candidates have professional or elite athletic experience, prior mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping athletes build both their physical performance and career skill building. Mentors set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every athlete.
