Craig Perry discusses the pros and cons of The Paradox of Sport. The pros are that administrators of high school sports are striving to create a culture that maximizes the joyous, exhilarating, and excellent experiences for all involved. Their role is to ensure and support that everyone is raised-up and that they have a real obsession and dedication to growth and development.

Administrators tend to serve others before themselves.
