Discover the essential steps to becoming an athletic director. Here’s your complete guide to relevant degrees, experience, and networking,

As school athletic programs grow, the role of the athletic director is becoming more essential. The increasing participation in sports at the high-school level raises the demand for qualified leaders who understand the importance of motivation, leadership, management, and strategy to continue to grow school athletic programs.

By earning a Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology from University of Western States, you will develop a strong understanding of the relationship between sports education and psychology, which will give you a unique edge in pursuing your career in school athletics. The Sports and Performance Psychology master’s degree features a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to improving athletic performance, including critical skills for a successful athletic director at any school level.

What Does an Athletic Director Do?

Athletic directors have many responsibilities. They oversee school sports programs, making them responsible for managing budgets, hiring the right coaches, and ensuring compliance with school and state athletic regulations.

Beyond the administrative tasks, athletic directors breathe life into the sports programs they oversee. They have a unique opportunity to shape the ethos of sports within a school, ensuring that every student-athlete competes in a positive and supportive environment. Athletic directors transform sports into experiences that teach life lessons, build character, and create memories that last a lifetime.

What Degrees Do Athletic Directors Need?

To step into the shoes of an athletic director, one needs to be equipped with the right education. Typically, a bachelor’s degree is required. However, in today’s competitive landscape, many schools prefer candidates with a master’s degree or advanced certifications, emphasizing the importance of specialized athletic director education.

• Bachelor’s Degree: Most schools will require an athletic director to hold at least a bachelor’s degree, preferably in sports management, physical education, or a related field.

• Advanced Degrees: Master’s or doctoral programs, such as the M.S. in Sport and Performance Psychology at UWS, provide specialized knowledge in motivation and performance enhancement to maximize an athletic program’s potential. An advanced degree in this field may be particularly advantageous in competitive job markets or for athletic director positions at larger schools where additional qualifications can set candidates apart.

• Experience and Networking: Practical experience in coaching, athletic administration, or even teaching can be as crucial as formal education. These will help with building a network within the sports community that can open doors to many opportunities.

The Sport and Performance Psychology program at University of Western States offers two specializations, allowing students to pursue their interests while learning skills that can support their career path to becoming an athletic director.

The Positive Coaching Concentration helps graduates become strong leaders and develop professional relationship management skills to work closely with coaches and improve their ability to motivate and support teams effectively.

Through mentorship hours, the Applied Practice Concentration offers hands-on experience that teaches aspiring athletic directors how to maximize mental resilience and peak performance in student-athletes.

What Does an Athletic Director’s Education Entail?

Prospective athletic directors should focus on courses that provide a deep understanding of sports administration, human resource management, and sports ethics. University of Western States offers graduate programs tailored to these needs, emphasizing both academic knowledge and hands-on experience.

Some of the courses UWS offers as part of our Sport and Performance Psychology program would benefit anyone interested in becoming an athletic director. These include:

• Applied Leadership in Sport and Performance Coaching: Dive into how leadership principles from positive psychology, such as resilience and growth mindset, can refine coaching in sports. This course helps athletic directors understand and improve their techniques to enhance athletes’ experiences and well-being.

• Sport in Society: Learn about sports’ role and its influence on society. Understand sport as both influenced by society and as an agent for change. Key topics include the intersection of sport with gender, race, class, media, violence, and other societal aspects.

• Foundations of Positive Leadership: A primer on modern leadership concepts that emphasize relationships and strengths. Aspiring athletic directors will discover positive leadership theories and build a personal philosophy. This foundational course views leadership from various angles, ranging from individual interactions to organization-wide perspectives.

Embark on an Athletic Director Career

Athletic directors shape the sports culture of their communities and ensure student-athletes enjoy the best possible experiences. Becoming an athletic director is a goal that requires dedication, strategic planning, and a commitment to the world of sports and academics.

Becoming an athletic director is not just about checking the boxes of job requirements. It’s about leadership, vision, and a deep passion for enhancing sports culture. Soft skills such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and team management are just as important. Additionally, an in-depth understanding of school sports policies, state regulations, and a commitment to ethical conduct will set you apart.

The Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology program at University of Western States teaches aspiring athletic directors advanced knowledge of the interconnectedness between sports, psychology, leadership, and management, offering graduates a competitive edge as athletic directors at the middle school, high school, and college levels.

The 2025 Education Beyond Borders study abroad program will allow students to experience South Korea’s cultural vibrancy.

Since 2016, the Education Beyond Borders study abroad program has brought learners together to cultivate a deeper understanding of the world. Born at the intersection of global engagement and cross-disciplinary collaboration, Education Beyond Borders was created for the institutions that make up The Community Solution Education System as part of a shared mission to prepare agents of change to serve a global community.

Available to current students and alumni, the program consists of an online course and culminates in a study abroad experience that gives participants the opportunity to engage with diverse populations around the globe. Joined by others from four colleges and universities across the U.S., participants will examine the topic of inclusion through the lens of several disciplines, including psychology, business, education, law, and humanistic health.

The inaugural Education Beyond Borders program in 2016 took participants to Berlin, Germany, to examine the topic of immigration and the country’s refugee crisis. Subsequently, participants traveled to Johannesburg and Cape town, South Africa in 2018 to examine the topic of identity. In 2019, studies on the concept of balance led to an enriching trip to Tokyo, Japan.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the program was fully virtual in 2020, connecting participants from institutions across the globe to explore the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health & Well-being.

Why South Korea?

South Korea was chosen as the destination for EBB 2025 due to its unique combination of technological innovation, advanced healthcare systems, and rich cultural heritage.  The country is known for its leadership in integrating technology into various aspects of society, offering valuable insights into modern healthcare practices and technological advancements.  Additionally, South Korea’s vibrant pop culture, encompassing K-pop, film, fashion, and cuisine, provides a compelling cultural backdrop to enrich the learning experience.  This blend of health, technology, and cultural vibrancy aligns perfectly with our theme of “Bridging Health, Technology, and Cultural Horizons,” offering participants a comprehensive and immersive experience.

Registration for Education Beyond Borders 2025 is open to students and alumni from The Chicago School, Saybrook University, Pacific Oaks College, The Colleges of Law, and University of Western States.

The importance of global experience

At University of Western States, we believe in serving our global community. By examining identity through the lens of other cultures, learners cultivate a more dynamic worldview and improve their overall approach to service. Professionals with diverse cultural knowledge are better prepared to manage decisions with global implications—setting themselves apart as leaders in an evolving and complex international global workforce.

Learn how University of Western States supports those experiencing homelessness through chiropractic care and community partnerships, making a tangible difference for those in need.

With a commitment to social responsibility and community engagement, University of Western States (UWS) is working to support communities that are affected by socioeconomic issues such as poverty and homelessness.

UWS faculty encourage students to apply their skills to real-world settings through a combination of hands-on learning opportunities, service-based projects, and dedicated outreach programs. “This holistic education model instills in them the importance of community service, which is intrinsic to the health care profession,” says Stanley Ewald, DC, associate dean of the College of Chiropractic.

Service work also helps cultivate empathy, provide concrete tools for ethical community engagement, and empower students to make a difference.

Learn how UWS is caring for underserved communities through its chiropractic care initiatives and partnerships.

How Community Partnerships Are Making a Difference

UWS believes that community collaborations are important because they enable institutions to be more effective and responsive in their efforts to address social issues and improve overall community well-being. One of the key ways UWS has been involved in combating poverty and homelessness is by partnering with community clinics to provide chiropractic care.

Dr. Ewald emphasizes the importance of community partnerships and how they contribute to the overall UWS mission of helping those in need. “It opens the door for people to receive health care they might not otherwise have access to,” he explains. Community partnerships also help students develop a mindset of service. “By instilling a sense of responsibility and service in my students, I hope to create a ripple effect, with each individual doing their part to make a difference in the lives of those in need.”

Today, UWS provides chiropractic care to the uninsured and underserved at four clinics in the Portland area.

1: Volunteers of America – Oregon (VOA)

VOA Oregon keeps its community healthy and safe through holistic patient services. In 2023, it serviced 21,821 individuals with the help of 68 volunteers and 166 interns. UWS is proud to provide chiropractic care to these individuals at both VOA’s men’s and women’s clinics and supports VOA’s goal of creating a thriving community.

2: Cascadia Behavioral Health

Cascadia Behavioral Health is a mental health facility that provides addiction recovery support, primary care, and more.

UWS provides a drug-free pain management model that complements the behavioral health services offered by Cascadia with chiropractic care. This holistic approach has been highly effective in helping patients manage their pain without relying on drugs or medication.

3: Coalition of Community Health Clinics

UWS is also a proud member of the Coalition of Community Health Clinics (CCHC). This non-profit organization is a community of 16 health clinics that provide a range of health care services for low-income, uninsured, and underserved communities. Together, UWS and CCHC partner on community events and share referrals.

Encouraging Students To Adopt a Service Mindset

Service is a central component of the UWS education model. The UWS motto is “for the good of the patient,” highlighting the responsibility to provide quality patient care through excellence in education.

Taking this motto to heart, Dr. Ewald emphasizes the importance of cultivating a service mindset. “I want students to understand that there is a need out there in the community,” he says. “It’s not just that they have an opportunity to make an impact; it’s that they have a responsibility to make an impact.”

Dr. Ewald has seen firsthand how this approach makes a tangible difference, having provided health care to impoverished communities in northern Mexico and Syrian refugees in Lebanon. For students looking to get involved in international service work, he reminds them that “a service trip can’t be for you; it’s going to be about who you’re serving.”

Dr. Ewald also notes that you don’t need to go abroad to make an impact, sharing how his personal experiences shaped his commitment to caring for underserved communities. Growing up, his mother modeled the importance of serving others. She often took him to visit families from various backgrounds, bringing them food, talking with them, and providing support. This early introduction drove home a critical message: Service begins at home.

The Impact of Chiropractic Care on Homeless Populations

Chiropractic care is a drug-free, noninvasive approach to health care that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing neuromuscular disorders. For individuals experiencing poverty and homelessness, access to this type of care can be life-changing.

The National Alliance to End Homelessness reports that half a million people in the United States experience homelessness on any given night, with nearly 60% living in shelters and the rest unsheltered.

Housing insecurity and physical health can form a dangerous cycle. For many people experiencing homelessness, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal issues are common due to inadequate sleeping conditions, manual labor, or lack of access to proper medical care. According to a Groundswell survey, 47% of people experiencing homelessness experience physical pain daily, and 87% have pain from sleeping on rough surfaces. This type of pain can be debilitating, limiting an individual’s ability to work and perform daily tasks. The physical toll can lead to further difficulty securing reliable work, increasing the likelihood of continued housing insecurity.

That’s where chiropractic care comes in. Chiropractic adjustments can provide much-needed relief, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life. Additionally, students and faculty in the chiropractic program can offer preventive care and education on proper body mechanics, helping individuals avoid future injuries and maintain better physical health.

By providing essential care that might otherwise be inaccessible, UWS students and faculty are bridging a critical gap in health care services. Their holistic approach, which focuses on the whole person rather than just symptoms, fosters trust and encourages individuals to seek further medical attention as needed, ultimately supporting their overall well-being.

The Future of Community Outreach Programs at UWS

University of Western States continues to support those experiencing poverty and homelessness through its chiropractic care initiatives and partnerships. By providing access to care for underserved populations, UWS is making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to receive this type of treatment.

The efforts of UWS serve as an example of how health care providers can use their skills and resources to make a positive impact on local and international communities. As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of poverty and homelessness, service-oriented education programs are becoming increasingly important.

Through community partners, innovative education programs, and an emphasis on compassionate care, UWS showcases how future health care providers—and academic institutions themselves—can make an impact.

The achievements of University of Western States’ alumni and faculty extend beyond the classroom, contributing to their fields of knowledge and research. From groundbreaking research papers to influential publications and creative endeavors, this list exemplifies the UWS community’s intellectual vigor and innovation.

Dive into the role of a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC). Learn about certification programs, salary prospects, and the power of mental performance.

Motivation, performance enhancement, and human potential. These are the crucial components of what goes into the goals of someone working in the field of sports psychology, and a certified mental performance consultant is no different in this regard. Building upon a base of academic coursework focusing on how sport psychology and counseling intersect and can be integrated, such as what can be found in University of Western States Sports and Performance Psychology graduate school programs, a certified mental performance consultant career can span a variety of sectors that go beyond the traditional world of sports.  

What is the role of a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC)?

Specifically trained to help enhance performance, the roles of a certified mental performance consultant are entirely dependent upon the needs of the patient, this can include the following: 

• Reduce performance anxiety 
• Improve focus during training and professional games
• Build up self-esteem 
• Recover from injuries (with the assistance of a PT) 
• Develop and execute an exercise program

In general, the field of sports psychology has grown significantly, as APA reported “In 2018, for instance, a record 27 of 30 MLB teams employed “mental skills coaches” to help players deal with the mental challenges of the game”. This closely follows the larger demand for mental health services in general, with a 2022 issue brief from the Research and Action Institute stating that “the number of adults in need of mental health services rose almost 30% from 2008 to 2019”.

How Much Does a Certified Mental Performance Consultant Make?

The median compensation of a certified mental performance consultant depends on a variety of influences, from work settings to the field of work (such as private practices or university athletics). With this in mind, a 2020 compensation report for mental performance work from the Association for Applied Sport Psychology reports that the median gross annual income is $76,250. 

Career Opportunities for CMPCs

Working in sports, coaching, exercise, and wellness, the pathways of a CMPC are diverse, with the potential to work along with a variety of clients from colorful backgrounds. 

Sports Teams 

Assisting sports players of all ages, from college athletes to professionals is about making sure their training–both physical and mental–is sustainable and productive for their personal development as athletes. A CMPC working with athletes also makes sure to educate them and make sure they are aware that sports are not just physical games, but psychological ones as well, with concentration and self-determination at times defining who wins and who loses a game. 

Mental Health Facility

In a facility, a CMPC’s role can include injury recovery, helping people to stay focused during rehabilitation and observing their progress over time, helping to aid them and develop their exercises in an attempt to reduce their downtime and get them back on track. 

Corporate World  

As stated in the U.S. Surgeon General’s release of the Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being, “a healthy workforce is the foundation for thriving organizations and healthier communities”. Employers, CEOs, and HR directors have all concluded that the well-being of their employees is crucial to meeting goals and scaling their businesses. CMPCs may be independent consultants who assist individuals one-on-one with their problems, ranging from insecurity at work to anxiety before presentations. 

How to Become a Certified Mental Performance Consultant? 

The certification process to becoming a CMPC requires six crucial steps, as laid out by the CSPA ACPS before you can start your professional life as a performance consultant: 

Obtain Application Materials 

These include your CMPC standard application form and record of mentored experience hours logged, plus the course syllabus and your university transcripts, and a mentorship verification form. 

Submit Fee and Application Material

The application fee is $300 and can be submitted at appliedsportspsych.org/payment.

Certification Council Reviews the Application

This must be completed within 6 months of your application being accepted by first following the instructions provided to you by the Certification Council, and researching the many available resources to you for studying for the CMPC examination. 

Take the CMPC Exam

Upon completion of the CMPC exam, your results will be announced to you. If you fail you must wait 90 days before trying the CMPC examination again. 

Collect CEUs and Pay a Yearly Fee

The annual certification fee is $25, and CEUs are to be collected over five years. 

Where to Start Learning the Skills of a Mental Performance Consultant? 

Integrating sports psychology and counseling starts with a program dedicated to developing not just your academic skills, but also preparing you for a professional career as a certified mental performance consultant. At UWS, there are three programs available for those who want to enter the world of sports psychology, but the Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology program (MS SPP) is 100% online and is specifically designed for those who want to become a CMPC through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology.
