SKILLS
In my director roles at Washington State University, Louisiana State University, and at Oregon State University, I served in a significant administrative capacity. I oversaw and managed all full and part-time weight room staff, performed yearly staff evaluations, managed the yearly operating budget, chaired search committees for open positions in the athletic department, created the weight room schedule for all intercollegiate athletic teams, attended campus-widely e diversity workshops, attended weekly department student services meetings, priced and ordered equipment, attended bi-monthly administrative staff meetings, attended daily football staff meetings, and met weekly with the Athletic Training staff.
In my role as a Head Strength Coach, I wrote individual workout programs, supervised and managed the workouts, and made dietary recommendations for approximately 100-125 football players. I also organized individual athlete workout times and scheduled on campus facility usage year round. I attended all football practices and traveled with the team and staff to all games.
