Why Attend?

​

High school athletic administration is evolving faster than ever. Athletic Directors are being asked to manage complex challenges—student well-being, program growth, equity, compliance, staffing, facilities, and more—while still championing the student-athlete experience.

 

The Summer Institute is designed to give you:

  • Expert-Led Learning: Hear from leaders across athletics, education, and management who understand the unique pressures ADs face today.

  • Practical Solutions: Sessions focused on current issues and real-world strategies you can apply immediately.

  • Networking Power: Build lasting relationships with peers from across the country who share your challenges and ambitions.

  • Renewed Energy: Step back from the daily grind to re-focus, recharge, and return ready to lead your department with confidence.

“I wanted to send a note of sincere gratitude for the time and intentionality you all poured into the Summer Institute earlier this week. The three days were professionally planned and thoughtfully executed. The three days were filled with new learnings, opportunities to self-evaluate and reflect, and time to plan for growth; both personally and for our individual campuses. The opportunity to come together with like-minded individuals from across the country was invaluable, and I look forward to the many new connections and friends I now have.”

"Thanks so much for everything this year. The Summer Institute is exactly what I’ve been looking for since I started athletic admin work in 2007! To have a go-to group outside of our school bubbles is such an advantage, and a great place to know we aren’t alone in figuring these issues out. Such a great opportunity!"
