After a bit of a break we are back with an episode about some of the pitfalls or things to be aware of when an AD also coaches a team. There could be a number of unique challenges due to the dual nature of everyone's roles but we have picked out 6 key areas.1. Time ManagementBalancing administrative duties (scheduling, compliance, budgeting, facility management) with coaching responsibilities is extremely demanding.2. Conflict of InterestWhen an AD coaches one team, there can be perceptions (or realities) of favoritism in budgeting, scheduling, or discipline decisions. 3. Oversight and SupervisionThe AD must evaluate and support all sports programs and coaches, but coaching limits our availability to attend games and practices of other teams.4. Emergency Response and AccountabilityDuring a game or practice, if an incident (injury, fight, weather delay) occurs in another sport, the AD may not be available to manage it properly.5. Communication and DelegationAn AD must rely on assistants or other staff to manage tasks during times they're coaching, which requires trust and clear communication systems.6. Burnout and StressThe physical and emotional toll of juggling both high-responsibility roles can lead to fatigue, reduced performance, and personal strain.Afterwards check out our sponsor⁠⁠ ⁠Kukri Sports.⁠⁠⁠You can connect with us on⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠ ⁠Twitter ⁠⁠⁠and of course on our website;⁠⁠ ⁠globetrottinads.com⁠⁠
