    Dr. Jeff WILLIAMSDirector of Athletics

    Dr. Jeff Williams became the East Central University Director of Athletics January 1, 2013. His appointment follows over 15 years of service to ECU, most recently as the chair of the ECU Department of Kinesiology.

    Dr. Williams was hired by ECU in 1999 as the Tigers Head Athletic Trainer. By 2003, he had built and developed the staff, students and curriculum into ECUs first nationally accredited Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP). In 2007, he was named Chair of the Kinesiology Department, where he was responsible for overseeing all four undergraduate degree programs, along with coordinating the Master of Secondary Education degree program in Sports Administration.

    Williams emerged as a leader within athletic administration while guiding this graduate program, which provided a platform for sharing his years of athletic experience with the next generation of athletic administrators. All academic programs demonstrated growth in scope and size under his leadership, but the most prolific growth was experienced in Sports Administration, which had become one of ECUs largest graduate program by 2009.

    Prior to this administrative appointment, Williams held a tenured associate professor position at ECU. He has also served in other leadership capacities, including university committees and faculty senate president. He received his doctorate of philosophy in higher education administration from the University of Oklahoma in 2011, master of human relations in student development from OU in 1999 and a bachelor of science in health and sports sciences from OU in 1996. He attended ECU from 1991-1993 prior to joining the Oklahoma Sooners as an athletic training student in 1993.

    Prior to coming home to ECU, Dr. Williams other professional credits include clinical instructor and supervisor of the athletic training program at Rose State College (1997-1999), Midwest Regional Medical Center Sports Medicine Program Coordinator (1997-1999) and Physical Performance Center Staff Certified Athletic Trainer in Norman (1996-1997).

    Over the span of his 17 year career, Williams has worked closely with athletic programs across all levels of competition, from youth to professional sports. However, it is within the NCAA DII level that Williams is committed. As a scholar, Williams researched the NCAA DII environment, seeking out the best practices.

    I believe in the NCAA Division II philosophy of equally balancing athletics and academics. Our ultimate goal at ECU is for our Tigers to earn their degree while having a great experience as a student-athlete. I am happy to lead a program full of coaches and staff who embrace this approach at a university that appreciates such efforts, reveals Williams. President Hargrave and I have one primary goal - to move Tiger Athletics forward by creating the best experiences possible for our student-athletes, our campus community and the Ada community. The Tigers WILL compete for GAC and NCAA championships!

    Both Williams and his wife Shelly (Jeter) graduated from Latta High School. Shelly also attended ECU prior to graduating from the University of Oklahoma and later the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. She is a speech language pathologist for Latta schools. They have two sons Jace, 15 and Kale, 11; and a daughter Katelynn, 9.

    Tiger Athletics has a rich tradition of great teams. Our past successes are indeed historic and we are ready to see history repeat itself. We believe in our student-athletes today. We believe in our coaches today. We believe in our fans, alumni and supporters today. This is not a place you can experience once and move on. This is a place where once you become a Tiger, youre always a Tiger!

    2014-15 ECU ATHLETIC TRAINERS

    ECU ATHLETIC TRAINING EDUCATION PROGRAM The East Central University Athletic Training Education Program has been a key to the Tigers success over the years. The program serves to not only help the ATEP students learn in a hands-on environment, but it allows the ECU Athletic Department to provide athletic health care for its student-athletes.

    The main athletic training clinic is located on the bottom floor of the Kerr Activities Center (KAC) in room 122. The main athletic training clinic is staffed by nationally certified and state licensed athletic trainers, each of whom is assigned to various athletic teams.

    The athletic trainers work in conjunction with team physicians to provide comprehensive athletic health care, ranging from emergency first aid and injury evaluation to rehabilitation of athletic injuries.

    There are also athletic training facilities located in the Elvan George Locker Room for football and in the Womens Athletic Complex for soccer and softball.

    Danny Key, a 1974 East Central University graduate, began his coaching career at ECU in 2005 when he took over the mens golf program. He is heading into his 10th season as the head mens golf coach as well as directing the womens golf program which began play in the fall of 2007.

    During his first nine years as mens golf coach, the Tigers have qualified for the NCAA playoffs as a team in 2006 and 2010 and individuals in 2007, 2008 and 2009. His teams have produced five first team all-conference players, four all-conference honorable mention players and two All-LSC Tournament Team players. He also coached two honorable mention all-conference womens players.

    His players have also been successful in the classroom. In 2012 Ashley Cardwell was the second ECU student-athlete to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, earning a spot on the Womens At-Large Second Team. On the mens side Dakota Robbins earned his second-straight Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar by the Golf Coaches Association of America and was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team.

    He has also produced a total of five Academic All-American and 16 academic all-conference players.

    Before coaching at ECU, Key served the Chickasaw Nation for 11 years as administrator for areas including realty, insurance, procurement, facilities and safety and security. Also during his tenure with the Chickasaw Nation, he was instrumental in starting their junior golf program which is currently active and successful in its 16th year.

    He began playing golf in 1972 while a student at ECU and has been involved with golf in this area ever since: including six years as a member of the board of directors at Oak Hills Country Club in Ada. During that time, he served as board president for two years, vice-president two years and chairman of the greens committee three years.

    Key, a native of the southern Oklahoma area, graduated from Madill High School in 1970 where he starred in football, basketball and track. In 1974, he received his B.S. degree in health and physical education from ECU where he lettered in track and was involved in student activities and organizations including Student Senate, Circle K and the ECU yearbook and Journal staffs.

    Key lives in Ada with his wife Michelle (also an ECU graduate) and three stepdaughters Megan, Jordan and Jessica. Key also has two grown sons, Chad and Kyle, one granddaughter, Ella and one grandson, Matthew.
