Advice for New ADs: Dos & Don’ts with Michael Duffy, CMAA – Carroll County Public Schools (MD)

August 19, 2025 • By ADInsider

Michael Duffy gives advice to new Athletic Directors on the dos and don'ts of starting the school year. It is important for any AD to develop relationships and he advises being visible and taking the time to meet as many people as possible including secretaries, custodians, groundskeepers, and bus drivers. Burnout can be avoided by making sure there is you time and finding a proper balance between work and family.
