Sports director is a career in life that many people don't choose or don't want to experience. There are long hours and stressful days that come with being an athletic director. Athletic directors also have to go to all the sporting events and deal with athletes who misbehave on and off the field, but I want to deal with all of these situations one day. I have always wanted to have a job that involved sport in any form. My vocation for the future is that of sports director because I have the values of being competitive, a model to follow and I am well organised. Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to win at whatever I did, no matter what it was, from playing sports to getting the best grades in all my classes. This is one of the main reasons for my decision to become a sports director in my future. To be an athletic director, being competitive is key to having a winning program. I want to be known for having a school that works hard, but is also competitive in all sports. If athletic directors aren't competitive, they won't have many students who want to come to their school to play or watch sporting events. I also want to make kids better at sports, and being an athletic director, I can fully commit to teaching and telling athletes how to play a sport. Athletic directors need to know how to develop kids to be more competitive, but without yelling and fussing at them. I would never yell at my athletes to make them more competitive when I am sports director. Additionally, I would hire coaches who know what it takes to have a competitive team, but realize that they are the responsible head of all athletic teams. Competitiveness is something I value highly and can use it to my advantage when I am a......middle of the road......ic directors professionally trained in the body of knowledge of management and sport” (pp.138) . My major will get me to that point in life where I can one day realize my dream of becoming a high school athletic director. It will make me smile every day going to work knowing that I have a competitive sports program, that I am a role model for kids in every way, and that I am a well-organized athletic director. The day I am hired as athletic director can never come soon enough. Works CitedBucher, C. A., & Krotee, M. L. (1998). Management of physical education and sport. Boston, MA: WCB/McGraw-Hill.Mentor.
