📘 GREAT ATHLETIC DIRECTORS DON’T JUST MANAGE PROGRAMS. THEY CHANGE LIVES. What separates a good Athletic Director from a GREAT one? It’s not championships, facilities, or budgets.

Congratulations Jake!!

Congratulations Bryce!! Well deserved honor!

Most people in your life are not truly your friends. They are just along for the ride when it’s fun, convenient, when it’s valuable to them. When it’s gone and tough times come, they are gone. The most valuable people in your life are there when darkness falls, when tough times come, when you have nothing to offer them.. They are still there. Make sure your spend your time to cherish these people in your life.

The best leaders understand that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about building relationships with people who challenge you, support you, & help you grow. Your network should be more than a list of contacts. It should be a community that makes everyone better. #AthleticLeadership #Leadership

Fast, physical, great leader, great character. Total package!

Today, I find myself overwhelmed with a mix of emotions as I sit down to write this post. It feels like just yesterday that my little girls were running around the house, watching ABC Mouse, Calling people on Skype to show off their latest Pet Shops, their laughter filling the air and their tiny hands reaching out for mine. Time truly flies, and now, these amazing young women stand before me, in the blink of an eye! From the moment they took their first steps to the accomplishments they now achieve, my heart is filled with pride. They have grown into young ladies who embrace challenges head-on, who never back down in the face of adversity, and who constantly strive for excellence in everything they do. As I reflect on their journey, I can't help but feel a longing for the days when they were little. The moments we spent singing Danke Schoen, saying “Daddy talk like a monster”, watching the girls put on their nightly theater productions with song 🎶 & dance & even some sketch comedy, and the countless hugs & kisses now reside in my memories. I miss those days, but I also understand that life is a series of ever-changing chapters, of a book in which we never know when or how it ends. I find myself filled with anticipation for what lies ahead. Their potential knows no bounds, and I can't wait to witness the incredible things they will achieve. I know they will make a positive impact on the world, just as they have made a profound impact on my life. @alexgarvis_26 & @Brookeg_03 Always remember that your dad is here, cheering you on every step of the way. You have grown into remarkable people, and I feel blessed to be apart to your journey. As you pursue your dreams & navigate the path ahead, never forget how much I love ❤️ you both! So, here's to the past, the present, and the future, a journey filled with memories, lessons learned, and endless possibilities. Love ❤️ You!

They print Money 💵 Not Time.. You can lose money and get it back. but you can’t get back time. Average people focus on money.. The Great focus on time. Don’t ever forget time is your most valuable asset..

Congratulations Josh!!

Happy #NationalCoachesDay! 🏆 Wins fade. Trophies collect dust. But the impact of a great coach can last a lifetime. Thank you to every coach who teaches character, builds leaders & believes in kids. Tag a coach who changed your life. 👇 #ChangingLives #CoachesDay

🏆 HAPPY NATIONAL COACHES DAY! Today isn’t about the wins, championships, trophies or banners. It’s about the lives changed along the way. To every coach who stays late, arrives early, has the difficult conversation, believes in a kid who doesn’t believe in themselves yet, and teaches lessons that will matter long after the scoreboard is forgotten—thank you. Coaches do so much more than coach a sport. You teach character. You develop leaders. You create purpose. You provide mentorship. You serve young people. And sometimes, you may never fully know the impact you made. At Changing Lives, we believe education-based athletics can be one of the greatest classrooms we have—and coaches are among its most important teachers. So today, tag a coach who CHANGED YOUR LIFE and tell us why. 👇 Let’s fill social media with the stories of coaches who made a difference. Thank you, Coaches. Keep Changing Lives. 💙💛 #NationalCoachesDay #ChangingLives #EducationBasedAthletics #AthleticDirector #AthleticDirectors #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolCoaches #Coaching #CoachDevelopment #StudentAthletes #CharacterDevelopment #LeadershipDevelopment #AthleticLeadership #SportsLeadership #InterscholasticAthletics #NIAAA #Coaches #ChangingLivesThroughSports
