To Whom It May Concern:

I am interested in the Athletic Director position your District for the 2015-2016 academic year.
I am qualified for this position, possessing a New Hampshire State certification for Principal, a
B.S. in Secondary Mathematics, a Master of Education in Administration and Leadership, and
recently became certified as a Registered Athletic Administrator.
My experiences as a department head, a teacher, and a coach, have afforded me the
opportunity to interact with diverse student populations and engage them in learning as well
as athletic competing. Using various teaching and coaching practices, as well as the cautious
modeling and support of new skills, I strive to ensure that every student athlete achieves
excellence. Having served as both a teacher and a coach for over twenty years, I am well
aware that athletic success cannot be achieved without academic success.
I am proficient at organizing, planning, scheduling and maintaining all types of sports and
other recreational activities. I am familiar of team building techniques and feel capable of
creating an atmosphere where team members are fully active and engaged with their work. I
understand how an athletic director has to travel and keep unsocial hours and sometimes
work for long hours. This is possible, especially when team members are playing away.
These are some extra training and exercise regimes that I accept as an important part of the
job. I am aware of these necessary administrative duties and managing day-to-day duties. I
also understand the importance of the long-term strategic planning. I am sure about that my
proven ability to maintain and manage these highest standards, as an athletic director, I will
benefit the school and make a significant contribution.
As an Athletic Director, I would make the effort to collaborate with students, teachers, and
coaches to improve the success and integrity of the athletic department. I am confident that
my experience and values make me an excellent fit for the position of Athletic Director. I truly
believe that we are all lifelong student athletes and would love the opportunity to share this
belief. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience to further discuss my
qualifications as the Athletic Director in your district. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,

Shawn Flynn
