About D1 Training

D1 Training Indian Land is an independently owned and operated, results-driven athletic training facility serving youth athletes ages 7–18, adults, teams, and high-performance athletes.

Our mission is simple: You pick the goal, we help you get there.

We combine elite coaching, a team-first culture, and proven training systems to help every athlete improve. D1 Training Indian Land is focused on expanding its personal training business, securing more team-training partnerships, and building a stronger elite and professional athlete pipeline throughout the greater Charlotte market.

Position Overview

This is not a coaching, front-desk, employee, or management position. We are seeking an independent Sports Performance Business Development Consultant to drive new revenue by developing relationships with athletes, families, schools, teams, clubs, sports organizations, agents, coaches, and other referral partners.

The consultant will focus on generating business across three primary revenue channels:

Personal Training

Recruit youth, adult, collegiate, and competitive athletes for one-on-one and small-group training.

Team & Organizational Partnerships

Develop relationships with schools, AAU programs, travel teams, clubs, academies, and other sports organizations for team training, facility rentals, camps, clinics, and performance programs.

Elite & Professional Athlete Development

Build referral pipelines for collegiate, professional, free-agent, combine, pro-day, and other high-performance athletes through relationships with agents, coaches, trainers, schools, and professional sports networks.

The consultant will independently identify prospects, develop relationships, and create qualified business opportunities for D1 Training Indian Land. D1 will retain responsibility for program pricing, contracts, athlete scheduling, coaching assignments, billing, collections, and service delivery.

This opportunity is best suited for an established sales or business‑development professional who already has relationships within the Indian Land and Greater Charlotte sports community and is comfortable earning compensation based entirely on successfully generated revenue.

What You’ll Do

• Independently identify and pursue prospective personal-training clients
• Develop relationships with coaches, athletic directors, schools, youth sports organizations, AAU and travel programs, club owners, and community partners
• Develop relationships with professional and collegiate athletes, agents, player representatives, coaches, physical therapists, sports medicine providers, and other referral partners
• Identify each prospect’s goals, training needs, budget process, timing, decision-makers, and overall fit
• Generate opportunities for team strength and conditioning, speed development, sports-performance training, and other approved D1 programs
• Establish relationships with physical therapists, sports-medicine providers, private coaches, and other athlete referral sources
• Learn the prospect’s needs and connect them with the appropriate D1 training solution
• Arrange qualified introductions, facility tours, and decision-maker meetings
• Advance opportunities from initial conversation through proposal and signed agreement
• Maintain documentation of prospect origination and material involvement for commission attribution
• Provide periodic pipeline and opportunity updates as established in the statement of work
• Protect confidential athlete, client, pricing, and business information
• Represent D1 Training Indian Land professionally and accurately in the community

The consultant may not bind D1 Training Indian Land to an agreement, change pricing, promise services, or negotiate final contract terms without written authorization.

Compensation

This is a commission-only independent contractor engagement.

Personal Training

15% of qualifying net collected revenue generated during the initial term of personal-training agreements directly originated and materially advanced by the consultant

Team Agreements

12.5% of qualifying net collected revenue generated during the initial term of team agreements directly originated and materially advanced by the consultant

First Team Renewal

5% of qualifying net collected revenue from the first team renewal when the consultant actively participates in securing that renewal

Elite and Professional Athletes

Progressive monthly commission of 15% on the first $5,000, 20% on the next $5,000, and 25% on qualifying revenue above $10,000

Clinics, Camps, and Testing Events

Separately negotiated project fee or revenue share established in writing before the project begins

Commission is earned only after D1 Training Indian Land receives payment. Commission is not earned solely for providing a name, making an introduction, conducting outreach, or presenting an unsigned opportunity. Existing D1 clients, previously active prospects, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, discounts, and other exclusions will be addressed in the written independent contractor agreement and statement of work.

What We’re Looking For

• Demonstrated success in business development, consultative sales, partnership development, membership sales, or a related field
• Established relationships within the Indian Land, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, or Greater Charlotte sports community preferred
• Experience working with schools, teams, clubs, coaches, parents, or sports organizations strongly preferred
• Ability to independently originate business rather than rely on assigned or inbound leads
• Strong communication, relationship-building, presentation, and follow-through skills
• Professional judgment when representing a performance-training brand
• Organized approach to prospect and opportunity documentation
• Comfortable operating independently without a fixed schedule or daily supervision
• Comfortable with a commission-only engagement and no guaranteed compensation

What Success Looks Like During the Initial 90 Days

• Establishing a documented pipeline of qualified personal-training and team opportunities
• Developing relationships with local coaches, sports organizations, schools, and athlete referral partners
• Securing meetings with qualified decision-makers
• Advancing viable opportunities to the proposal stage
• Producing new collected personal-training and/or team revenue
• Maintaining sufficient documentation to establish opportunity ownership and commission attribution

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Earn commission across both personal-training and team-partnership revenue
• Leverage an established national sports-performance brand
• Build relationships throughout the rapidly growing Indian Land and Greater Charlotte sports market
• Work independently without coaching, facility-management, or staff-supervision responsibilities
• Opportunity to expand the engagement based on measurable business results
