Learn & Discuss Best Practices
with Other Athletic Professionals
It is now taken for granted that a good Athletic Director should understand the nuances of operations, facilities management, scheduling, transportation, officials, uniforms, budgets, etc.
The truly great Athletic Director, however, has mastered an array of additional skills. Our Virtual Workshops provide today's Athletic Directors with the knowledge and skills to navigate the critical issues that factor into a student's athletic experience, such as Name, Image & Likeness (NIL), club teams, social media, strength & conditioning, nutrition, sports psychology, total wellness, marketing/branding, sports performance technology, enrollment pressures, working collaboratively with admissions departments, and the role of athletics in concert with academics and the arts. Our workshops are highly interactive, giving athletic administrators the opportunity to ask questions and receive expert advice on the topics that matter most to them.ics and the arts.
