Just like teachers, principals, and superintendents, athletic administrators need ongoing training to best serve in their role.
Consider this: What department in a high school has the highest potential for risk? Athletics.
It is the largest department in a lot of high schools. It has the most students participating in it. It has the most staff to manage. It might have the biggest budget to oversee. And it often gets the most attention in the community.
That’s why it is critical for athletic administrators to have ongoing professional development and leadership training to ensure they have the expertise they need to minimize risk and protect their student-athletes, their athletic department and their school.
The NIAAA’s Professional Development Academy includes the Leadership Training Institute (LTI), the Certification Program, Assessment, and Educational Initiatives.
