Glad to be in Savannah for the GEMA School Safety & Homeland Security Conference - hearing right now from our Georgia lawmakers.

Excited to teach LTC 508: Legal Issues with Coach Pippins @GADACOACHES today!

[GADA @GADACOACHES]

GHSA gets a lot of grief, but Don Corr hit the nail on the head here: “…school athletic directors should be able to keep up with their own scores…we have to rely on athletic directors to do their jobs. It’s frustrating.”

As ADs we have to do better.

“Learning from my peers and growing together.”

@CoachStikes, AD at @GriffinSpalding, is looking forward to the annual GADA Conference. From meaningful workshops to professional development, this is where leaders sharpen their craft & recharge.

Athens is calling. See you there!

Another great day of learning the National Athletic Directors Conference!

[Bill Stikes, CAA @CoachStikes]

Excited to be at the National Athletic Directors Conference - ready to learn, grow and continue to help @GSCSAthletics get better!

Principals/ADs looking to hire coaches:
Don’t get enamored with things that don’t matter.

Ask yourself:
- Who can build the best relationships?
- Who is the best communicator?
- Who seems the most organized?

Call References not on their resume.

This is the best formula.

@jc_coachcoffey Congratulations Coach - well deserved. Will be pulling for your success.

If GHSA overturns suspensions for kids leaving the sideline in a fight based on appeal then every single decision they make should be appealed.

[Bill Stikes, CAA @CoachStikes]

Hate walking into a visiting locker room and seeing this. We leave a trash can in there for a reason. What do we teach our athletes when this is acceptable?

[Bill Stikes, CAA @CoachStikes]

Excited about this opportunity for our students and thankful for community partners who value the experiences athletics provides!

[GSCSAthletics @GSCSAthletics]

.@GriffinSpalding is pleased to announce the receipt of a grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, in partnership w/ the @AtlantaFalcons & @ATLUTD, to expand middle school athletic programs, adding soccer for boys and girls & girls flag football

Beyond Self Athletes Assembly: Respect Yourself - Respect Others - Take Responsibility. We had a great assembly this morning for all of our @GriffinSpalding middle and high school student-athletes. Big shout out to @CoachStikes for coordinating this activity!!

Embarrassing from #ATLUTD

[GADA @GADACOACHES]

School athletic honors night is your chance to celebrate every student-athlete, especially those who may not shine at the district level. 

Make it meaningful. Reflect your program’s values. Get the details right. Recognize effort, character, and leadership.

[Bill Stikes, CAA @CoachStikes]

Excited to learn and grow as an athletic administrator today! @GSCSAthletics

[GSCSAthletics @GSCSAthletics]

The bell rings, but school isn’t over. Not for @griffinspalding student-athletes anyway.

They’re still learning, just in a different classroom:

The basketball court, soccer field, swimming pool & more.

This is just 1 reason why we #ChooseSchoolSports!

A-T-L-A-N-T-A Atlanta score a goal today! Hooray!

Avery starting chanting that when we went down 3-1 last week and it worked for the W - hoping it works for @ATLUTD again today!

Been singing it the whole way here! #WeAreTheA #ATLUTD

[Bill Stikes, CAA @CoachStikes]

Way to go Imani!!
