VSADA

Final day of the 2026 conference was filled with our leaders sharing their being vulnerable, and speaking their truths. INCREDIBLE day of learning from ADs Mike Jabour and Quaron Pinckney, Student-Athletes, and @vtprincipals Lauren Thomas! Thankful for these amazing people!

Thankful to have had the opportunity to listen to Krista Balogh and Ute Otley present yesterday! From building out our brands as athletic departments to preparing our student-athletes for collegiate athletics - they both knocked it out of the park! #educate #empower #grow

John Woods is simply next level! Delayed ✈️, no problem, no sleep - no problem, commute from Montreal to Burlington at 1am - no problem. Beyond grateful for John as he delivered over five hours of PD while kicking off our 2026 conference! #championshipculture
