I will die on this hill. I will argue till I’m blue in the face. I will produce the data. Participation in youth sports/activities is as important as many of the classes my kids take at school. Maybe more important.

Sports are fantastic!

Thankful for @zjhunn willingness to stream this weekends matches in KC - We appreciate you!

Don’t blink - 👀💨⏰

This 👇 I’d add..their ability to lead, their philosophy on fundamentals, teamwork, playing time, it all matters. Coaching - who and how is the most important piece..

There’s been some negativity & shade thrown towards youth sports lately (some justified). However, this is STILL prevalent & very alive in more cases than not!

High school athletic directors. Within five minutes, I can usually tell the great ones and the bums. But regardless of where they fall on that spectrum, almost all of them have one thing in common: They're overworked and their departments are severely understaffed. Think about it. Many high schools have 35-45 sports and activities under one department umbrella. Most have multiple levels. That's 2,000-3,000 students, 1,500-2,500 events a school year (not including summer, offseason training and don’t forget overtime and weather delays), countless (pain-in-the-ass) parents, coaches (some great, some young, stubborn and dumb), game officials (showing up late or asking about payment), transportation (bus drivers lost), trainers, facilities (how many ADs are working on fields during the spring?), weather reschedules, scheduling conflicts and community expectations. And that’s just the start. We're asking one full-time athletic director and one 40-hour administrative assistant to manage it all? Oh that’s right, they get a stipend assistant AD to help half the time. Here’s what is truly comical: Some ADs are even forced to teach classes on top of it. That's not a joke. That's reality. High school athletic departments aren't rec leagues. They're million-dollar nonprofits. They're communications departments. They're marketing departments. They're event management companies. They're community engagement engines. They're often the most visible part of a school district 365 days a year. Yet many are staffed like it's 1956. As June begins and school leaders finally get a chance to catch their breath, school boards should be asking a simple question: Are we investing in the people who make our athletic departments shine? Instead of another flashy scoreboard or cosmetic project, what would happen if those dollars went toward staffing, communications, operations or student-athlete self-care support? The mental exhaustion in education is real. Athletic directors carry more of it than most people realize. It's time we start treating high school athletic departments like the businesses they've become instead of the hobby departments many still think they are. #MoreThanJUSTGames #IHSA

What makes high school students happier and healthier? Having the chance to learn and grow. Having mentors pour into their lives. Having a place to belong. Encourage your student to participate in high school sports! #PlayPerformCompeteTogether playperformcompetetogether.c…
