'Making the Case for the Athletic Administrator'
Updated on 08/03/2025

Athletic administrators are now increasingly responsible for shaping school culture, ensuring compliance with regulations, fostering student development through athletics, overseeing the physical and emotional well-being of student-athletes, and engaging with the broader community to create a positive image for the school. This position requires professional leadership, educational advocacy and a sophisticated skill set encompassing risk management and legal compliance. A well-supported athletic administrator is essential for the success of educational institutions, as they play a key role in ensuring student safety, managing district liability, and fostering a positive and effective athletic environment.Click here to read the full document.
