Elizabeth Sanders: Lessons from Year One as an Athletic Director

In this GADA Today episode, presented by Northside Hospital, Elizabeth Sanders, Athletic Director at Carrollton High School, opens up about the real challenges and lessons from her first year in administration — and why relationships, not to-do lists, should come first.

Topics covered:

  • The unexpected learning curve for new athletic directors
  • Why “people over paperwork” is more than just good advice
  • How to manage time when everything happens after school hours
  • The importance of being fully ready to leave coaching before stepping into administration
  • How GADA’s network helped her navigate eligibility, scheduling, and more

A must-watch for current and aspiring ADs navigating the transition from coaching to leadership.

Thank you, Northside Hospital, for making this episode possible.
