Indiana Athletic Directors offered ideas on what strategies and programs they have implemented to promote multi-sport athletes. Slide 23 L EADERSHIP FROM THE TOP DOWN Hire coaches who really believe in the multi- sport concept. Incorporate language into the annual coachs evaluation document. Meet with head coaches on a regular basis to discuss the importance of promoting multi-sport participation. Slide 24 L EADERSHIP FROM THE TOP DOWN I dentify multi-sport participation as the number one priority. Actively promote sports outside of a coachs season. Encourage coaches to promote multi-sport participation by being visible at other sporting events. Slide 25 L EADERSHIP FROM THE TOP DOWN Require all coaches to meet together to talk about yearly plans prior to each season. Do not permit out-of-season coaches to conduct open facility time on the same night as a regularly scheduled in-season contest. Restrict use of facilities for strength and conditioning during peak practice times after school. Slide 26 L EADERSHIP FROM THE TOP DOWN Require meetings of coaches with student athletes who wish to participate in multiple sports in the same season. Either coach can refuse to allow such participation which ends the process. A written contract is created by both coaches and filed with the AD. Slide 27 L EADERSHIP FROM THE TOP DOWN Schedule summer workouts as an athletic department, not as individual sports. Coaches must meet with the student-athlete and their parents to discuss schedules and find a way to make it work. Slide 28 L EADERSHIP FROM THE TOP DOWN Encourage coaches to promote their athletes to run track in the Spring as a way to condition and build their athleticism. One Twenty sports, ONE team. - multiple teams must come together as one if they are going to be successful. Allow in-season athletes to attend open gyms of other sports should they choose. Slide 29 Establish a schedule for out of season weightlifting supervision which can be utilized by all athletes not in season. Do not allow off-season conditioning programs to begin until after Labor Day in the fall and not until after Thanksgiving in the winter. Hire a strength coach specifically for conditioning.
