About the role

The private baseball development industry is broken.

Pitching lessons, 3-day Clinics & 6-week Velo Programs don’t create lasting results.

At Tread, we measure Athletes in years, not sessions.

Our Performance Coaches occupy a unique space in the player development world, training thousands of baseball players from High Schoolers to Perennial MLB Allstars remotely, in addition to hundreds on-site in our state-of-the-art, 33,000 square-foot Headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina.

As a Performance Coach, you will operate within our hybrid model – where you will be able to provide guidance for your assigned athletes year-round, as opposed to in brief spurts throughout the Off-Season.

Your coaching duties will involve both remote and in-house work with your assigned athlete workload. No more 12+ hour days on the training floor or field and 11:00 PM closing times.

This year-round, hybrid format provides the continuity that players require to navigate the minefield that is High School, College and Professional baseball and the freedoms coaches require to dig deeper on problems to create sustained, transcendent results.

Most player development coaches are limited to focusing on one niche: such as Strength & Conditioning or Mechanical Analysis or Sports Psychology.

At Tread, we understand that Performance is multi-faceted and complex. As you build-up to a full athlete workload, you’ll be uniquely positioned to leverage your skillset as you oversee ALL the foundational Pillars of your players’ development: Biomechanics, Throwing Programming, Pitch Data & Analytics, Pitch Design, Strength & Conditioning, Nutrition, Psychological and more.

Tread is a unique opportunity for you to continually level-up your coaching skillset far beyond where it is today.

Most coaches don’t join Tread with pre-existing expertise in all of these Performance Pillars.

Not to worry – once hired, you’ll be immersed into all things Tread including TreadU, our 90-day Onboarding Curriculum that prepares you on everything from Muscle Physiology to Pitch Data & Analytics and Pitch Design to Communication to Time Management.

Regular In-Services and ContinuingEd opportunities allow you to evolve your skillset rapidly along with additional access to dozens of on-site resources including:

A Data & Analytics Team
Markerless Motion Capture System & Biomechanics Team
Force Plates & Pitch Tracking Tech, including Trackman (5+), HitTrax, Edgertronic, and more
High-end Analytics Software (TruMedia & more)
State-of-the-art Training Equipment (Keiser, VBT and more)
A growing team of 30+ passionate Performance Coaches

You’ll be expected to contribute at a level unfamiliar to most. It will be uncomfortable and challenging. But, when you realize your true coaching potential, you unlock opportunities for significant professional and personal growth.

Tread provides the freedom to fail (forward) with appropriate guardrails and support the entire way.
