Episode Synopsis
The podcast is making its third visit to Oklahoma. UIAAA Connection #241 – Emily Barkley, CMAA, Director of Athletics – Union High School, is now available. Emily grew up in Tulsa, just a few miles from her current workplace. A three-sport athlete in high school, she reflects on the impact of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, an event that shaped her perspective during her teenage years. Her first job involved working at Mazzio’s Pizza, owned by her father. Emily balances a demanding schedule alongside her husband, a division II basketball coach, and emphasizes the importance of having an understanding spouse. She highlights the legacy of the OIAAA and advises future ADs to wait a few years before taking on the role full-time and to fully separate work and home life. Please Listen, Learn, and Share!
