Preparing for and Entering the Early Days as an AD

Good PE teachers don't always make good Athletic Directors. It takes much more than just a knowledge of curriculum and sport to run a successful athletic program. Are you in your first year of being an AD? Juggling a dual role in PE and coordinating sports teams? Have aspirations to some day become an AD? Join me for some tips to get ahead of the game before you're in too deep and sinking. If you're an experienced AD, this probably isn't for you, but you're welcome to come along and share as well!
