EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, we delve into the challenges of fostering effective communication and collaboration across sports in the NCAA. As athletic departments continue to expand – in staff size and expectations for holistic student-athlete care – the separation between various sports, disciplines and departments present unique obstacles that demand innovative solutions.

We’ll hear from NCAA leaders who have implemented strategies to break down silos and promote synergy by consolidating and centralizing people, process and data; integrating data-driven and evidence-based insights; and cultivating a culture of collaboration and engagement.

Topics for discussion:

  • The evolving dynamics of NCAA sports programs and their impact on communication and collaboration in and across sports – with players, practitioners and administration
  • The role of centralized data and insights about health, mental well-being, performance, athlete status and more in providing cross-departmental, actionable insights that align staff
  • Strategies for fostering a collaborative mindset among coaches, athletes, and staff members, emphasizing the shared goal of athletic excellence
  • Exploring emerging trends and innovations in data and technology that have the potential to further transform communication and collaboration within collegiate sports programs
