NCADA

The mission of the NCADA is to be a national leader in preserving, enhancing, and promoting education-based athletics through personal/professional development.

@CoachFowler72 of @EMeckAthletics shares a simple idea that's making a big impact at his school: pulling online resources for the coaching staff.

Leaning on existing resources gives coaches answers they need, reduces interruptions, & frees up ADs to focus on higher-value work.

Can you tell when an email was written with AI?

@MikeHartPlayOn discusses the subtle signs that make an email sound automated and why ADs should be using AI only as a supplemental tool, not a complete substitute for communication.

A powerful reminder from Brad Hinson on the importance of work-life balance.

It doesn’t happen by accident. Healthy work-life balance requires boundaries, delegation, organization, and a commitment to making time for yourself and those who matter most.

Communication is rarely ever one-size-fits-all.

@2chattypatty shares Darryl Nance’s approach to communication & the importance of understanding how people receive info, make decisions & connect. By learning this, leaders can better approach conversations and strengthen teams.

We'll see you next week! 📆

We're looking forward to two jam-packed days of professional development, leadership training, networking, and industry updates at our annual Summer Leadership Academy.

"You're there for them, not yourself."

Justin Heatherly of @HCPSNC believes the best athletic directors never lose sight of who they serve.

Effective leadership starts with service, from simply supporting coaches with the necessary resources to investing fully in their growth.

Apex High School had no more room in their trophy cases and a Hall of Fame made up of tiny plaques no one looked at.

They chose Gipper Touch — and now their entire athletic history lives in a touchscreen kiosk that wows their community.

RJ Reynolds (NC) had run out of space for their trophies, with even more hidden away in storage. Their AD, Brad Fisher, wanted an easier way to manage their Hall of Fame, records, and athletic achievements — and knew a touchscreen display would fix his space problems. Here’s how:

100+ years of history. Decades of Hall of Fame inductees. All showcased without Brad Fisher lifting a finger.

That's the Gipper Touch difference: white-glove onboarding means our team does the uploading for you. Brad, AD at RJ Reynolds HS (NC), just watched it come together 💪

@EmbreeJoe shares why great coaches are at the heart of every successful athletic program.

From shaping the student-athlete experience and creating safe environments to becoming trusted pillars in their communities, coaches influence far more than wins and losses.
