Got my Master's in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concodia University in 2012. Just got hired as an AD at a new school and decided that I needed some reference material.Three major iissues:1. Price - not worth it for hard cover.2. More than 50% of book must be accessed online. You must create an account with HK and use the code inside book. This code is only valid once and only with that account. So no resale value. DONT BUY USED3. Info inside book geared toward college AD's
I ordered the hard-bound with web resource and frankly I was very impressed with both. The content was to the point, touched on almost everything and gave realistic and professional responses to complicated issues. The online forms were good starting templates that need minimal modification (to suit your organization). This book is for both high school and college ADs,, and it is a reference I will use for a long time.
I cannot thank Donna and Connee enough for putting this book together. It's a MUST HAVE for any AD no matter how long you are in college athletics or how well-established you are. I am just glad it was affordable for all levels especially small colleges like the one I work at.The online resources alone are worth 10s of thousands of dollars in time saved and wisdom. Being able to just amend the forms with the particulars of our institution, rather than having to create them from scratch is just amazing!At a time of year when we find ourselves catching our breath from the Fall and Winter, before bracing for Spring seasons, I find myself rejuvenated and working hard to improve our performance review process and implement new strategies for next year thanks to this book.
Do not buy the ebook version because there are no online resources which is half the book. Should not be offered.
It is a must have if you have any desires to be an Athletic Director!
