This course is designed to help athletic administrators and coaches master essential leadership principles that will help both two-year and four-year collegiate athletics administrators and coaches navigate a course involving studying, practicing, and developing leadership skills and competencies. Through integrating and implementing leadership concepts, applications and frameworks, leadership performance will be enhanced. To develop and improve administrative skills, students will interview a two- or four-year collegiate athletics administrator or head coach of a team covering seven key areas of administration. A focus is placed on branding and developing pillars to support an athletics program or a team. Current topics in collegiate sports will be examined including Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) concepts, the NCAA Transfer Portal, and the ever changing landscape with the Power Five Conference governance structure and its effect on minor sports and lower-level collegiate programs. As always, the dynamics of the MCAA program and this specific course content are created for practical application. If this course is taken, MCAA 560 may not be taken.
