In addition to a passion for sports and an enthusiasm for coaching and mentoring, hiring an athletic director with strong people and communication skills is a must. From students and faculty, to parents, community members, media, and staff, athletic directors must interact with an array of groups on and off campus. That makes communication across various audiences a must-have for a successful athletic director. The pressure to win is just as important to athletic directors as it is for players and coaching staff. The typical list of qualifications and skills can include:
● Strong interpersonal communication
● Ability to manage relationships with coaches, school administrators, staff, students, and parents
● Skilled at providing motivation and direction to the coaches
● A resourceful leader that delegates tasks effectively
● SV athletic competition attendance and ongoing professional development are necessary

● A proven track record with creating and overseeing an athletic department’s strategic plan

● Confer with coaches to establish games, events, and practice schedules.
● Work with coaches and bus drivers to determine travel arrangements, eligibility, etc.
● Schedule travel arrangements for field trips, athletic travel, and any SV bus usage
● Establish season, conference, and district schedules and work with other schools to create schedules
● Select, recruit, and oversee coaching staff and have season reviews with each.
● Co-produce a postseason plan with league officials.
● Maintain orderly, clean, and safe facilities and equipment.
● Generate and file team statistics and student physicals promptly.
