Today on the Hangin' with the AD podcast, we're adding a new twist to our guest lineup. We've talked with high school and collegiate athletic directors, authors, speakers, and performance coaches—but this is the first time we've welcomed a TikTok star into the conversation. Chris Harris is the athletic director at Evangelical Christian School in Fort Myers, Florida, a role he's held since 2022. Before joining ECS, Chris spent six years as the Athletic and Activities Director at South Fort Myers High School. He's a former collegiate athlete, a successful coach with state titles in both football and track, and now, a social media voice giving thousands of people an authentic look into the day-to-day life of a high school AD. In this episode, you'll hear how Chris uses TikTok not just for laughs or highlights, but as a leadership tool—to advocate for athletic administrators, educate communities, and tell the real story of what we do. We'll also explore his thoughts on visibility as a leader, the power of a reset, leading with intention, and why now is the time for ADs to tell their own stories. Whether you're an athletic director, a coach, or just curious about life behind the scenes of high school sports, this conversation is packed with insight, energy, and encouragement. Let's get to it—here's our conversation with Chris Harris.

What happens after the crowd roars, the lights fade, and the jersey is hung up? In this riveting episode of Collecting Insight, hosts Sara and Lori sit down with longtime friend and special guest Jeff Schulman—a former NHL draftee and current Athletic Director at the University of Vermont—for a raw, real, and timely conversation about the emotional journey of today's college athletes.Jeff brings decades of insight from both sides of the game: as a Division I hockey player and as the leader reshaping the student-athlete experience in an era defined by pressure, social media, NIL, and skyrocketing mental health concerns. He opens up about what's changed since his own college days, the toll expectations are taking on athletes now, and how UVM's trailblazing Catamount Sport Psychology and Counseling Program is helping students reclaim their well-being—and their identities—off the field.Expect unfiltered stories, surprising reflections, and even a few laughs (yes, including a legendary ECAC goal scored against Harvard… while one teammate watched from the penalty box). You'll hear about two athletes' brave decisions to speak publicly about depression—and why that courage is quietly rewriting the future of college sports.Whether you're a parent navigating your child's athletic journey, a coach searching for better ways to lead, or simply someone who cares about mental health, this conversation will stick with you.

It was 2001.I still remember the email: mj@usc.edu. It came from Mark Jackson—someone I knew from working summer camps at USC that summer.“Give me a call,” it read.That call changed my life.It opened a door—not just professionally, but personally. It gave me a glimpse of what a grounded, intentional, meaningful family life could look like.Since that moment, Mark has been a friend, a mentor, and now, with both of us in the Big Ten Conference, a kind of colleague. Back in the early 2000s, we'd spend hours in Pete Carroll's office—absorbing his leadership philosophy and, just as importantly, reflecting on our own lives.Then came the summer of 2008.Coach Carroll challenged us to write down our life philosophy. Like a class assignment, we each returned with a typed-up document that felt like a book report. I was single and 25. Mark was married with four kids.His response?Family. Faith. Friendship. Fun.Those “Four F's” became his compass and they still are.From interning with the Patriots to working on staff under Parcells, Belichick, and Carroll, Mark has been in rooms where championship culture is created. But it wasn't just his resume that shaped him—it was the internal work. What he calls the “lonely work”—the kind of soul-searching that happens when life knocks you down and there's no clear next step.For Mark, that moment came at 35, after being let go by the Raiders with four kids to support. No job. No clarity. Just space to look inward.What followed was discipline.Writing. Running. Alignment. And a renewed commitment to the life he wanted to lead.In this week's episode of The Process—our six-part series on leadership, growth, and intentional living—Mark joins Rhett Lewis and me to explore what it really means to lead with authenticity. From helping Villanova win a national title as a point guard, to leading Northwestern through a near-billion-dollar stadium transformation, Mark's core message remains:Be authentic. Stay grounded. Live your values.This episode isn't just about college football.It's about how to live a life that means something.Welcome to The Process, from Y-Option.The Process is a six-part series within Y-Option, exploring the inner workings of elite performance through the eyes of iconic quarterbacks, coaches, and leaders. From icons to athletic directors, from QBs to coaches we go beyond the playbook—into the mindset, habits, and life philosophy that shape the greatest competitors. Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or chasing your next breakthrough, this series invites you to reexamine your own process—and refine it.From Y-Option, this is THE PROCESS with Yogi Roth and Rhett Lewis.

This is a breakdown of Power, FBS, FCS and I-AAA athletic director hires since 2020 and a closer look at the AD hires since 2024. Since beginning my doctorate program in 2020, I've been closely tracking D1 athletic director hires, compiling data and identifying patterns. What started as a research interest has grown into a deeper focus on the AD position itself—and more recently, on the college presidents and chancellors who make the decisions to hire or fire.This post presents a few (but not all) key trends in AD hiring since 2020, marking the first in a series of studies I plan to write about in the weeks ahead. My goal is to provide leaders with insights to benchmark their institutions and help prospective athletic directors help forecast or course correct based on where they want to go next.
