Congratulations to all earning their NIAAA designation!

We're having a great time out in Ohio at the OIAAA state conference! Our Executive Director Phil Rison, CMAA and Board member Jamie Tallman, CAA are there engaging with members and representing us well.

Does your executive director sing karaoke at the state conference? Nice job Glen! Glen Gillespie, CMAA

"Ask any athletic director why they do this work, & the answer is simple: because every day, we get to witness growth. Not just in athletes, but in future leaders, teammates, & people who leave a positive impact in this world. That’s the true victory." ~ Scott Garvis C.M.A.A.

Things you can control in games: • Effort • Attitude • Self-talk • Body language • Attention • Execution Things you can’t control in games: • Winning • Your opponent • Refs • Fans • Weather • The past/future To play your best, focus only on what you can control.

The role of the AD hasn’t changed, it’s still about showing up, working hard, and putting people first. That’s timeless. ~ Scott Garvis C.M.A.A. NIAAA IHSADA
