Athletic Management

The illustration above appears in the latest issue of Athletic Management - a publication geared towards college and school athletic departments in America. The article is about onboarding -
a form of orientation through which new employees gain the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective members of the organization. If done properly, this practice can lead to very happy and productive employees.

This drawing accompanies an article about how coaches and athletic departments can be vulnerable to lawsuits. The best thing coaches can do to protect themselves is to know the law. If they take proper precautions before setting foot on the court - they can avoid a visit to the court of law.

I always have fun brainstorming ideas for each illustration. Here are the sketches submitted for the illustration above:

Athletic Management

Here are recent pieces for Athletic Management - a publication geared towards high school and college-level coaches & athletic directors. The drawing above accompanied a story about helping student athletes become responsible social-media users. Emphasis is placed on Twitter, a popular platform for students. Athletes receive training on how to tweet responsibly - with knowledge that they represent their schools (and their individual reputations).

The above drawing accompanied the 25th anniversary installment of the Game Plan column. The author, a former athletic director, answers questions about various issues which affect athletic programs. This article addressed the need to continuously emphasize safety to coaches - in the form of videos, meetings, checklists, etc.

Here are some of the sketches I submitted:
