Who am I?

Longtime High School and College Coach and Athletic Director. Also have authored 2 Best Sellers (The Athletic Director's Toolbox - Vol. 1 and 2) and edited 3 additional Books. I now host a podcast where our guests share their own journey along with BEST PRACTICES for Leaders. Half of our 400+ Interviews feature Women Professionals and we also have Aspiring ADs on to share where they are at. My own "Chapter Three" includes presenting at local schools for coaching staffs and parents along with speaking at State and National Conferences and Clinics. I'm on our National Faculty for 3 Leadership Training Courses and working with a team of ADs to author a new course on Work - Life Integration. Trying to stay current after a 41 year career as a Teacher, Coach, and Athletic Director in a variety of settings including Public, Private, and Faith Based. When teachers or coaches attend a conference or clinic, a typical comment is "I wish this was going to last just one more day!" Our podcast guests present "tips" and "tools" just about every day through our interviews and features. I enjoy the conversations and we really do a pretty good job of sharing Best Practices for our listeners.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

I've already shared a bit about what we offer. Three days a week we present 45-50 minute interviews with professionals representing all 50 states and a number of countries (We have listeners in 73 countries around the world!). The podcasts that I'm recommending - along with ours - offer a similar take in their own way.

What is my podcast playlist about?

These are podcasts that I listen to and recommend to veterans and newcomers to the profession. Going back to attending a conference or a clinic ... the goal is to come away with just one "nugget" to take back to your school. Our podcast, and the ones on this list, offer multiple nuggets for our listeners!

The podcasts I picked and why

2. Pairadocs: Untold Stories from Athletic Directors

Why this podcast?

Dr. Danielle LaPoint and Dr. Dustin Smith have taken the AD Podcast and created a cool medium for ADs to share those CRAZY stories that we all have experienced. Their take is very funny, but also affirming as they show ADs are not alone in having to deal with the "untold stories" from the world of high school athletics.
