ABOUT the COLLEGIATE COACHING CONSORTIUM - The invitation-only Collegiate Coaching Consortium brings together rising basketball coaches and NCAA Division I athletics directors to participate in a rigorous multi-day academy that teaches each how to identify, analyze and influence critical organizational processes as a means of building better teams and athletics programs.
Each cohort – coaches and ADs – participates in individually focused curriculum designed to sharpen their competencies and capabilities that are critical for ensuring success within their respective roles.
The 2019 Consortium will be led by a diverse group of speakers and faculty, which includes leaders in collegiate athletics, professional sports, the business world and higher education. Among them are: university presidents Eric Kaler (Minnesota), Nayef Samhat (Wofford), and Ron Machtley (Bryant); head coaches John Calipari (Kentucky), Mike Brey (Notre Dame), and Andy Enfield (USC); athletic directors Bubba Cunningham (North Carolina), Jeremy Foley (Florida), and Ed McLaughlin (VCU); professional sports executives Lara Jurus (Minnesota Vikings) and Michael Lombardi (Cleveland Browns/New England Patriots); search firm executives Daniel Parker (Parker Executive), Glenn Sugyiama (DHR International), and Chad Chatlos (Venture Partners); and business leaders Jacqueline Williams-Roll (General Mills) and Mark French (The Players Tribune).
