The Bet On Me Fellowship is OGX’s immersive, paid opportunity for aspiring softball coaches and performance professionals who want real experience inside a high-performance training environment.

If you are serious about developing your craft, understanding applied biomechanics, and learning how athlete development systems operate day to day, this fellowship was built for you.

What Is the Bet On Me Fellowship?

The Bet On Me Fellowship is an 8 to 10 week hands-on development experience inside OGX’s data-driven softball performance system.

This is not an observational internship.
It is applied learning inside an active training environment.

Fellows gain direct exposure to:

  • OGX coaching systems and philosophy
  • Athlete management processes
  • Pitching and hitting development
  • Performance data collection and reporting
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration across departments

Fellowship Structure

The program is intentionally designed in two phases.

Weeks 1 to 4: Full-Time Immersion at OGXHQ

Location: Romeoville, Illinois
Required in person

This onboarding block ensures every fellow understands how OGX operates before stepping into a specialized role.

During this phase, fellows:

  • Learn OGX coaching systems and education frameworks
  • Gain in-gym coaching exposure
  • Support athlete onboarding and daily operations
  • Assist with assessments and data collection
  • Observe and participate in athlete management workflows

This is where foundation and standards are built.

Weeks 5 to 8 or 10: Department-Focused Placement

After the immersion block, fellows transition into a track based on fit and organizational needs:

  • Pitching
  • Hitting
  • Sport Science

Placement may occur at a different OGX location depending on availability and performance.

In this phase, fellows deepen their applied experience, increase responsibility, and contribute directly within their department.

Compensation & Timeline

  • Duration: 8 to 10 weeks
  • Start Date: Mid-May
  • Compensation: $2,500 monthly stipend

This is a paid opportunity designed to invest in the development of future professionals.

Key Responsibilities

Throughout the fellowship, participants will:

  • Assist with in-gym athlete training and supervision
  • Support pitching and hitting assessments
  • Contribute to data collection and reporting
  • Learn and apply OGX athlete development frameworks
  • Collaborate with coaches and sport science staff
  • Participate in internal education sessions and feedback reviews
  • Uphold professionalism and contribute to OGX culture

The fellowship environment is active and physically demanding. Fellows should be prepared for standing, walking, demonstrating movements, throwing, lifting, and engaging fully in daily training operations.

Who Should Apply?

We are looking for individuals who are:

  • Strongly interested in softball performance, coaching, or sport science
  • Educated or experienced in pitching, hitting, biomechanics, kinesiology, or related fields
  • Comfortable working with athletes ages 10 to 22+
  • Curious, coachable, and eager to learn
  • Professional communicators
  • Willing to work evenings and weekends when required

The ideal fellow values growth over comfort and feedback over ego.

Post-Fellowship Opportunities

The Bet On Me Fellowship is designed as a development pipeline.

High-performing fellows may be considered for:

  • Part-time or full-time coaching roles
  • Continued mentorship and education within OGX
  • Long-term roles across coaching, consulting, or sport science departments

This opportunity is about more than eight weeks. It is about building future leaders in the softball performance space.

Why “Bet On Me”?

Because growth requires ownership.

Because development requires responsibility.

Because the best professionals are built through experience, not just credentials.

The Bet On Me Fellowship challenges aspiring coaches and sport science professionals to invest in themselves and step into a high-performance environment with intention.

If that sounds like you, we encourage you to apply.
