Athletic Trainer to Athletic Director – 477

How can I become an Athletic Director?

Many ATs have moved on to Administration. Ross Cooper is an Athletic Director and Athletic Trainer for Detroit County Day Schools.

John Ciecko gets to the point to figure out how he got there and how you can follow Ross's path.

Here are a few key points from Ross Cooper

Experienced ATs already perform many of the duties of an Athletic Director
You have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone
Exposure to multiple leaders and leadership styles is beneficial
Self-Reflection is crucial
Relationships with each person are important – never know who is watching
Be a good listener

Ross also mentioned he took the schedules and policies and made them all digital. Using a system like Dragonfly MAX can help an Athletic Trainer reduce paper work, streamline the PPE process and improve communication with coaches, parents, and athletes

Why are “they” so LAZY

Dr. Knoblauch is an Athletic Training educator. He is dealing with our replacements. Consequently it is his job to stay relevant with this current student generation.

If you feel like this current generation is lazy then check out his presentation and Follow up interview. Every generation feels like the ones after them are not as motivated.

We can complain about how “they” are not like “us” or we can move towards understanding and meet somewhere in between.

Want to grab the slideshow?

Find ways to meet the needs of this student generation. Reach out and help them grow into a professional worthy of the title Athletic Trainer.

Understand times have changed and so have the needs, demands, values and stresses. Our current student generation will only be as good as we allow them to be.

Want to follow Ginny's Journey

“When Ginny Garner’s full-time industrial position was no longer fitting her needs, she began to look outside the box and found part-time work with ATvantage.

This opportunity, her passion for athletic training, and for raising her family has led her on a unique journey to where she is today as the Regional Manager for ATvantage.”

Check out the blog article ATVantage did on her as they highlight women in AT.

What are the rules for leadership?

Kelly Salter (previous podcast with Kelly) and John Ciecko have read the book: Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World

Team of Teams; John Ciecko; Kelly Salter; Stanley McChrystal

In this episode of Leadership in Athletic Training John and Kelly discuss the book and how it applies to Athletic Training.

Some of the comments during the show:

Things change and if we are not willing to adapt we dig our heels in and get left behind.
We are not lazier or less intelligent from our parents, but what worked for them will not necessarily work for us
We have to constantly adapt – for example Taping and ankle. Communication needs to be adapted almost with each individual
Ask for help from a colleague, mentor, or social media circles when you have a tough case or someone is not responding.
You can not win every battle and you need to know when to sit down and listen.

They cover several other practical ways it applies in their practice and changes they have made from taking ownership of the responsibility to lead.
