PALMER, MICHAEL SCHAEFER
SHARE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DUTIES |
|
From
UA
This Week, July 14, 2010:
Upper
Arlington High School's decision to go with
two athletics directors on an interim basis
worked out so well last winter and spring that
the school has decided to keep the model in
place.
The
school board announced the hiring of Michael
Schaefer and Jodi Palmer to share
the athletics director role July 6. Schaefer,
who will oversee the school's 15 boys varsity
sports, and Palmer, who will be in charge of
16 girls varsity sports, officially begin their
duties August. 1.
"Most
schools have between 18 and 21 varsity teams,"
Schaefer said. "At Upper Arlington, we
have 31. With the amount of varsity teams we
have, I think this was a great model to pursue."
"Having
two ADs is going to be a big advantage,"
Palmer said. "There were so many athletic
events (every day) that it was hard for one
person to cover everything. When you're working
with a smaller portion of athletes, you can
give more attention to each program."
UA
has had six athletics directors in the last
15 years, but principal Kip Greenhill hopes
having two athletics directors to share duties
will cut down on the amount of turnover.
"Basically
we have two people sharing the same job so instead
of one person being here four or five nights
a week, the two will be here just two or three
days a week," Greenhill said.

| INFORMATIONAL
ARTICLE ON THE REALITY OF ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS |
|
From
a New York Times article entitled "Expectations
Lose to Reality of Spiorts Scholarships:"
At
youth sporting events, the sidelines have become
the ritual community meeting place, where families
sit in rows of folding chairs aligned like church
pews. These congregations are diverse in spirit
but unified by one gospel: heaven is your child
receiving a college athletic scholarship.
Parents
sacrifice weekends and vacations to tournaments
and specialty camps, spending thousands each
year in this quest for the holy grail.
But
the expectations of parents and athletes can
differ sharply from the financial and cultural
realities of college athletics, according to
an analysis by the New York Times of
previously undisclosed data from the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
and interviews with dozens of college officials.
Read
the entire 5-page article that discloses the
truths about college athletic scholarships.
