“I believe this monthly journal is just what the busy leader needs. There is so much information out there and it can be so time consuming trying to find it. Athletic administrators and coaches don’t have time to read blogs and other material that can provide some really great information. Our journal allows them to get the information they need without having to waste time searching for it. I believe the top people in any profession never stop learning and that is the main objective of this journal--provide coaches and leaders the means to learn without having to waste their valuable time.” —Dan Spainhour, Editor
