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.
