Another new school year is upon us, how quickly the summer months passed by. I hope you all took some time to relax, spend time with fam-ily and recharge your batteries for another demanding school year. The demands of the Athletic Admin-istrator seem to increase each year

with new initiatives and responsibilities. Your PSADA Executive Council and Executive Director have been busy this summer planning for the 47th annual confer-ence, attending NIAAA section 2 meetings in West Vir-ginia, administering the CAA exam and conducting golf outings to benefit the PSADA Foundation and scholar-ships for our student-athletes.

Your Executive Council is truly a hardworking, dedi-cated group of leaders. They give a lot of their time and talents to help PSADA and make us the best organiza-tion of Athletic Administrators in the country. I would like to thank Jon Vallina and Jack Fullen for once again hosting the PSADA Foundation Western Golf Outing. They have been conducting a PSADA golf outing every year since 2003 and have raised over $41,000 for our student-athlete scholarships; what a great example of hard work and leadership for all of us. I would like to also like to congratulate Jon on his retirement as Athletic Director at Burgettstown High School, some-one will succeed Jon, but no one will replace him. His contributions to PSADA over the years have been truly exceptional. He has been an inspiration to many of us through the years. We are thankful that Jon will stay on the Executive Council and help us with the annual conference and continue with the Western Open. Jack Fullen once again hosted the CAA exam this summer. We thank Jack for continuing this summer tradition.

President’s Messageby Gerry Schwille, CmAA

We also congratulate Jack for being inducted into the WPIAL Hall of Fame, a truly deserving award for one of the great leaders in PSADA history.

I am pleased to announce that PSADA has part-nered with the PIAA to develop a coaching education initiative. It is hard to believe that 48 other states already have a coaching education requirement and that Pennsylvania does not. The rich history of inter-scholastic sports in Pennsylvania will continue and im-prove with this new initiative. The time line for a coach-ing education requirement is set for 2016 providing the PIAA Board of Directors passes it through the next

two readings. Stay tuned for more information and how PSADA and ASEP will help you with this new program.

I had the opportunity this summer to attend the 150th anniversary and reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg. Over 14,000 reenactors arrived from all over the country including 16 different countries. Watching these people portray the life of the Civil War soldier in that wars greatest battle for those 3 days was truly inspiring. I also fulfilled a life-long dream by walking the beaches of Normandy, France. Seeing those hallowed beaches and visiting the largest of the 12 American cemeteries are truly life changing events. We can truly learn many leadership lessons from these 2 events that changed the course of history for all of us. The first one that I think of is the sacrifice that these young men and women made for the cause they believed in. They were willing to lay down their life for others. The messages that Generals Lee, Meade, Eisenhower, Montgomery and others sent truly must have been inspiring to these young people.

Imagine being about 17-18 years old, thousands of miles from home, cold, tired, hungry, facing insur-mountable odds and knowing you probably will never see your family again. I know why those young people at Normandy are referred to as the Greatest Genera-

“President’s Message” continued from previous page

tion. The second lesson is that the outcomes of these 2 great battles were determined by the decisions that were made by those famous Generals. Had Robert E. lee listened to his fellow Generals and sought input from his staff, instead of ignoring their advice, the outcome would have been different. General Meade sought the advice of others and listened to his col-leagues and developed a consensus ensuring a Union victory. Hitler too refused to listen to his Generals and failed to believe the Allies were landing at Normandy. He thought it was a diversion and that General George Patton would lead the real invasion at Calais.

Too often we as leaders ignore those around us and fail to heed the advice of those who know more and can help us. A leader must listen. I could mention many more examples of leadership lessons that these battles taught us, instead I would recommend the best book I have read on leadership. It is titled “Sacred Ground, Leadership Lessons From Gettysburg and The Little Bighorn” by Jeff Appelquist. As the Athletic Direc-tor at your school you are charged with being a leader. I urge you to continually learn and grow your leader-ship skills. Your coaches, parents, administration and student-athletes rely on you to lead them, don’t let them down. Wishing you the best for 2013–14.

PIAA and PSADA Partner onCoaching Education

by bob buckanavage, Executive Director

and Gerry Schwille, pSADA president

One of the major ini-tiatives that was unani-mously approved by the Delegate Assembly and PSADA Executive Council

in March in Hershey was a mandate for a coaching ed-ucation requirement to include concussion care, sud-den cardiac arrest, sport first aid and coaching prin-ciples for all coaches.

As a follow-up to this charge, Bob Buckanavage, PSADA Executive Director and Gerry Schwille, Coach-ing Education Chairman arranged for a meeting with

Dr. Robert Lombardi and Mr. Mark Byers on Thursday, June 6, 2013 to present a proposal for a coaching edu-cation requirement in Pennsylvania.

The great news is that the PIAA Leadership fully endorsed and supported the proposal and agreed to place it on the agenda for the PIAA Summer workshops with athletic directors and coaches.

The most encouraging news is that both the coach-es and athletic directors committees unanimously

See “PIAA and PSADA” on Next Page


endorsed a coaching education requirement for all coaches. Gerry Schwille attended both of these com-mittee meetings and reported that he was extremely impressed with the positive response and support from the coaches especially.

During the July 24, 2013 PIAA Board of Directors meeting, the PIAA and PSADA Coaching Education re-quirement was approved on a first reading basis. This is a major step in the right direction because forty-eight (48) states have a coaching requirement and Pennsylvania will hopefully become part of an impor-tant and necessary national initiative to professional-ize coaching.

As a point of information, this requirement will go into effect July 1, 2016. PIAA member school coaches will have a choice to either successfully complete the National Federation (NFHS) Fundamentals of Coach-ing and First Aid, Health and Safety courses online at www.nfhslearn.com or the American Sport Educa-tion Program (ASEP) Coaching Principles and First Aid courses in the classroom or online at www.asep.com or verify the completion of equivalent course(s).

There are significant benefits from having coaches

take the required courses. For example, by taking either the NFHS Fundamentals of Coaching or the ASEP Coach-ing Principles course, coaches are better able to:

• Gain a better, more balanced perspective about winning

• Learn how to communicate and motivate their athletes more effectively• Plan their seasons and practices and teach better skills and techniques• Manage their teams and themselves better.If we truly believe in the value and benefits of in-

terscholastic athletic competition, then we owe it to our student-athletes to provide them with well-trained coaches. We need to ensure that the athletic experi-ence in Pennsylvania for our student-athletes is a wholesome and positive life learning experience. To-gether, we can accomplish this goal to keep education based athletes where it needs to be, and that is the hundreds of secondary schools across this great state of ours. By providing our coaches with the proper edu-cation, we can achieve this goal for future generations of participants.

PSADA Leadership Changeby bob buckanavage, Executive Director

The month of May 2013 for members of the PSADA Executive Board and Council will be remembered as a time of significant change in the leadership of the organization.

At the May school board meeting of the Harbor Creek School District, Mr. Andrew Krahe was approved as the next principal of the Harbor Creek Senior High School. Consequently, Mr. Krahe resigned from his po-sitions as President and Membership Chairman and ultimately, from the PSADA Executive Council.

As a result of Mr. Krahe’s resignation, the process of transition to fill these vacancies was implemented by the Executive Board [and active past presidents] and Executive Council. Mr. Gerry Schwille, Immediate Past-president, was the overwhelming choice to fill the one year term of office as President from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.

The position of Membership Chairman was posted to the members of the Executive Council. During the

July Executive Board and Council meetings in Pitts-burgh, Mr. Dennis Ramella was selected by the Per-sonnel Committee to fill this important role for the or-ganization.

Mr. Krahe’s position as District 10 Representative on the Executive Council was filled by Mr. Joe Nagle, Northwestern High School and Mr. Bill Mook, Rocky Grove High School was approved for the one year term as At-large Representative.

On a final note, the PSADA Board and Executive Council express their gratitude for the years of service that Mr. Krahe contributed to the organization and ex-tend best wishes for success as Principal of Harbor Creek Senior High School.

Mentorship update by Karen Arnold, CmAA

Welcome to the 2013 – 2014 school year. By now I am sure that parents, athletes, teachers, and ad-ministrators are knee deep into the school year. If you are a new athletic director, WELCOME TO THE CLUB! Being an athletic director is a fast paced, most times fun and rewarding, but at times stressful and over-whelming, especially if you are new to the job. The PSADA Mentorship program is again available to any new athletic director.

PSADA members, if you know of a new athletic di-rector who has not been matched with a mentor and needs the New Athletic Director’s Handbook, please email me at [email protected]. If you are a new athletic director and have not been matched with a veteran athletic director, have questions or in general need an ear, please email me at the same email ad-dress. I will help you to be connected with an athletic director in your area. Along those same lines, if you are not a first year athletic director, but still would like continued support as you move into Year 2 and

beyond please email me, and I will work to get you the help that you need. Best wishes to all new and return-ing athletic directors for a successful school year!

11. Keynote Speaker Bill O’Brien, Penn State University head football coach, presented an excellent and inspiring insight on “how to deal with adversity” during the opening general session at the 46th Annual Conference. Introduced by President Andy Krahe, Coach O’Brien provided a powerful message about being a believer in any undertaking you face in life. This belief was tested when the NCAA imposed severe sanctions on Penn State resulting from the internal investigation of child abuse. Coach O’Brien referred to a quote that reads, “A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn’t like the tune.”

12. The founder and director of Life of An Athlete Human Performance Project, John Underwood, referenced his 25 years of experience working with athletes on the professional, Olympic, collegiate and scholastic levels to highlight the negative effects alcohol, drugs, diet and reduced sleep have on athletic performance during the Friday General Session at the Annual Conference.

13. The PIAA Current Issues session on Wednesday evening during the Annual Conference proved to be a valuable time for an update by Dr. Bob Lombardi, Executive Director, Mark Byers, COO, and Jim Zack, President. Topics ranging from constitution and by-law changes, booster clubs, cooperative agreements, football heat acclimatization, staff changes, legislation to boys playing on girls teams were presented and discussed.

14. The 1st Time Attendees Session chaired by Karen Arnold and Tim Walter was well attended and very informative. Teresa Shakespeare from PDE spoke about the Accountability Act, Bob Buckanavage addressed the group about the need to have all booster clubs accountable, and Karl Heimbaach, NIAAA Section 2 Representative talked about the benefits of becoming a NIAAA member.

15. The Workshop Sessions staged on Thursday were well-attended and the topics and speakers were well received. Home Team Marketing presented a valuable session on “How To Increase Revenue & Realize Savings,” Gerry Schwille and Greg Pinelli explained in detail “How to Implement A Student Leadership Program,” Bob Hartman spoke about the challenges and rewards of “How To Trademark Your Logo,” and Amy Scheuneman and Chuck Abbott presented a riveting session on “Single vs. Multiple Booster Clubs.”

16. The “Cracker Barrel Sessions” scheduled for A AA-AAA-AAAA and Jr. High/Middle School were conducted by the respective chairpersons. Topics included an update on the PSADA Foundation, PIAA heat acclimatization, Act 82 Legislation, Coaching Education and PIAA Current Issues. Sessions were well-attended and action items were referred to the Delegate Assembly.



17. The Annual “Mini-Sessions” presented on Friday provided attendees the opportunity to select from four (4) outstanding topics and speakers: 1. Everyday Champions Not Just Game Day by Brady Rourke, Syracuse university; 2. Emergency Action Plan by Neil Matz, PATS Representative; 3. How To Comply with Act 82 by Peg Pennypacker and Teresa Shakespeare, PDE; 4. Integrating Statistics and Video by Tim Matta, Stat Easy.

18. The PSADA Foundation staged four (4) fund raising events at the March 2013 Conference. Each one contributed to the $3,500.00 that was raised, namely, the Raffle (43 gifts), 5K Run/Walk, 50/50, and the Foundation Lapel Pin. Thanks to Dave Eavenson, Gerry Schwille, Holly Farnese and members of the board for their time and energy to make this all happen.

19. The 13th Annual Delegate Assembly Meeting was chaired by President Andy Krahe and 53 voting delegates representing all 12 PIAA Districts were present. The following motions were properly presented and approved for action by the PSADA Leadership: 1. That PSADA survey its members seeking input about the PIAA Heat Acclimatization proposal; 2. That PSADA pursue with PIAA mandatory coaching education to include concussion care, sudden cardiac arrest and first aid; 3. That PSADA pursue the NIAAA certification program (CAA) for all Athletic Directors in PA with the PDE; 4. That PSADA request the PIAA for a defined season for competitive cheerleading.

20. Veteran Conference Manager Ken Campbell resigned his position from the Executive Council and Foundation Board in June of 2012. Ken faithfully served the organization for 31 years and as President from 1990-92. Dave Eavenson was approved as the new Conference Manager during the October 2012 Executive council Meeting.

21. The Executive council accepted and approved of the terms of the Executive Director’s contract effective July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2018.

22. President Andy Krahe announced his resignation on May 17, 2013 as President and from the Executive Council because of his promotion to Principal of Harbor Creek High School effective July 1, 2013. The transition will begin immediately at Harbor Creek High School.

23. In view of Mr. Krahe’s resignation as President and from the Executive council, Executive Director Bob Buckanavage conducted a phone survey of the Executive Board and all Past-presidents on the Council regarding a transition plan to fill the term of office of President of the organization. The clear consensus was for Mr. Gerry Schwille to serve the remaining year with the overwhelming approval of the Executive Council effective June 10, 2013.

24. PSADA partnered with the school business officials (PASBO) and school superintendents (PASA) on a webcast about Act 82 Legislation on September 24, 2012; and also with the school boards (PSBA) on a webcast on Friday, February 18, 2013. Peg Pennepacker took the lead with both events and provided her expertise on this important Title IX Legislation.



Pennsylvania InterscholasticAthletic AssociationJoins NFHS Network

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (August 9, 2013) — The Penn-sylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) is one of 28 members of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) that has joined the NFHS Network, the new all-digital network devoted to coverage of high school sports and performing arts through the Internet at www.NFHSnetwork.com.

The NFHS, in association with PlayOn! Sports (PlayOn), announced the official launch of the NFHS Network on August 1. With coverage of boys and girls sports and activities initially in at least 28 states during the 2013-14 school year, the NFHS Network becomes the largest aggregated destination for coverage of high school sports in the country. Through a subscription-based digital service available at www.NFHSnetwork.com, more students, parents and fans will be able to watch high school sports than ever before.

In addition to the PIAA, NFHS member associa-tions in the following states have finalized agreements and will be a part of the NFHS Network as the 2013-14 season begins: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colo-rado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Ne-braska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Ver-mont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

In addition, member associations in a number of other states are close to completing agreements and are expected to join the NFHS Network soon.

“We believe this is one of the greatest opportuni-ties in the 94-year history of the NFHS as we are able to take advantage of new technology and showcase high school sports and performing arts on a national scale,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. “We are excited to provide viewership opportunities for fans of high school sports that have never existed before. The NFHS Network will help showcase our primary mis-sion of expanding participation and opportunities for involvement in education-based interscholastic sports and performing arts activities.”

“PIAA is extremely proud to be a part of this initiative that will provide more opportunities to highlight the stu-dent athletes of Pennsylvania, said Dr. Robert A. Lom-bardi, PIAA Executive Director. “We have young people every day enjoying and excelling in the interscholastic athletic experience, and we now have a greater avenue to showcase their accomplishments.”

Postseason games in all sports sponsored by the PIAA will be available online on the Network, except for select championship events for which the PIAA has existing television contracts with other media partners. Viewing opportunities for NFHS Network events will be posted in the coming months at www.NFHSnetwork.com.

The NFHS Network will build on the past success of PlayOn’s high-quality coverage of high school sports at

the state level. PlayOn currently streams nearly 30,000 events per school year and has worked with 32 state associations and sections in 26 states.

“Teaming up with the NFHS is a natural progres-sion to build a truly national high school sports plat-form while honoring the local communities that sup-port them,” said David Rudolph, PlayOn! Sports chief executive officer. “Our mission is to serve the current and future generations of student-athletes, support and encourage their participation and make their per-formances accessible to their friends, family and fans on every media platform they use.”

The NFHS Network is a joint venture between the NFHS and PlayOn! Sports and will be governed and overseen by a combination of NFHS and PlayOn execu-tives.

“Ultimately, we want to make the NFHS Network the most treasured and trusted source for high school athletics,” Gardner said.

This new article series, C’s the Day, will explore how athletes can seize the role of being a team captain and lead their team to a season of significance. Each time a team captain is elected or selected, he or she must choose how to approach the vital role of leading

the team. In my 22 years of experience presenting leader-ship workshops, three approaches to leadership have be-come evident: Clueless, Casual, and/or Committed.

The Clueless approachA student-athlete taking the clueless approach doesn’t

take the role seriously. They may or may not even want the role. Typically, a team captain with the clueless approach is either very lazy or only wants to enjoy the occasional glory the role sometimes provides. They like the fact their name is called during introductions, but when the team faces a difficult issue, clueless captains magically disappear. Clue-less captains don’t connect with their teammates, plan team building events, or invest the time needed to learn leadership skills. It is unlikely that a clueless captain will help his or her team create a season of significance. They simply don’t care enough about their role or the team.

The Casual approachThe casual approach is typical of student-athletes who

are interested in becoming a good leader. The casual team captain may put some extra effort into the role initially, but the excitement of being named team captain fades quickly when the casual captain realizes how much work is re-quired to be effective. Casuals show flashes of effective-ness followed by flashes of doing very little to really lead the team. The casual approach does just enough to get by and usually flies under the radar. Casual leaders are more concerned about being “one of the gang” than they are about confronting a difficult issue that may be prevent-ing the team from improving. Casual leaders will not be remembered as being strong, effective and inspiring. Too often, this is the approach a majority of athletes take after being named team captain.

The Committed approachA student-athlete who takes the committed approach is

dedicated 100% to the role of being a team captain. This young person understands it is an honor to serve as a team captain. The committed team captain goes out of their way to create team unity, work through conflict, and organize off-season practices and team bonding events. The committed leader also understands that even at the high school level, they will learn important life lessons that will help them be-come successful in other areas of their life.

It’s the committed leader who understands that “we” is more important than “me” and is willing to put in extra effort which will often go unnoticed. Committed leaders have a strong desire to create a season of significance re-gardless of the overall team’s record.

The committed captain realizes that the role has both benefits and challenges, but they know that the benefits of being committed will far outweigh anything that becomes a burden. A committed team captain values intrinsic mo-tivation and knows his or her role is to take the team from point A to point B with integrity and hard work.

At this point, I hope you are asking yourself an impor-tant question: Am I going to take the committed approach to the upcoming athletic season? Or am I going to be clue-less or casual?

Dig deeper and evaluate yourself on the key qualities of great leaders by visiting, www.highschoolsportsleader.com Click “Take the Personal Evaluation Survey”(included under “Free Resources”), and see if you have what it takes to be a team leader. Many coaches and athletic directors nation-wide are requiring potential captains to take the survey before being considered for this vital role. The re-sults will give you a great indication of your current com-mitment level. Print them out and share them with your coach or AD.

Although it’s very easy to take a clueless or casual ap-proach, your coaching staff, teammates, and your commu-nity deserve much more. They need you to step into the role of team captain and create a positive experience for everyone involved.
