Nathan Whitaker

 After winning a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and witnessing teamwork and leadership from his time in the scouting departments of the Bucs and Jacksonville Jaguars, he talked Tony Dungy into writing a book. That book, his first, was the #1 New York Times bestseller, Quiet Strength, and he has gone on to write numerous other books (11 of which have become NYT bestsellers).

NIAAA Leadership courses

The NIAAA (National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association) champions the profession of administering athletic programs in high schools and middle schools around the world. No other body values, promotes, preserves, supports and stands ready to uplift the cause of the athletic administrator, as does the NIAAA.
The NIAAA is accredited by Cognia and offers six different levels of certification.

LTC 903: Enhancing Organization Management and Effectiveness in International School Athletic Programs

This course is aimed at assisting athletic directors to set the tone for their program.
Origins of athletic administration are addressed in addition to codes of ethics. The concept of “educational athletics” is discussed and refined. The role of the athletic administrator and the importance of having a school philosophy are addressed and workshop participants have the opportunity to interact with others to refine their own philosophies.
 
Issues relating to the roles of athletic administrators, coaches, and philosophical applications are covered in depth.
 

LTC 904: Child Protection Overview for the International School Athletic Administrator

This course covers liability for sports injuries, negligence, and risk management practices for athletic administrators.
 
Best practice concepts will be introduced for athletic administrators, coaches, athletic trainers, and other athletic personnel through the use of case scenarios and guided discussion. Appropriate risk management strategies and documentation procedures for athletic administrators will be identified.
 
Real-life scenarios and defining the duties and standards of care that schools require for child protection will be addressed.
