Are any high school or club teams in Austin bringing on a Sports Injury Rehab Specialist who prioritizes individualized return-to-play plans and short prevention blocks before practice? I’ve spent 7 years keeping athletes confident and progressing, can cover Tue–Thu after 5:30 pm, and I’m curious about typical rates and whether your org protects assessment time instead of rushing volume.
Try Lonestar SC — ask for protected ‘assessment time’; I’ve seen $55–$75/hr Tue–Thu evenings: https://www.lonestar-sc.com. Does 6–9 pm work?
I’ve gotten orgs to protect eval time by putting a 20‑minute “assessment hold” on the shared calendar before warm‑ups and baking it into the contract; that’s helped me land $60–$75/hr as a 1099. If they push for per‑athlete pay, I counter with a 2‑hour minimum and small travel bump — would you be open to that on Tue–Thu, @OP?
Building on @rebecca_t89’s hold, I’ve had teams sign an SOW with a quoted “15‑minute eval buffer, no coach overrides” plus a max of 4 athletes/hour; it kept things sane and justified $65–$80/hr with a small travel line. If you don’t want hourly, pitch a 2.5‑hour minimum block with a per‑athlete add‑on after the fourth — airline‑style priority boarding for evals. Want intros to two Westlake/Lake Travis contacts who used that setup?
