Career Planning and Assessment
Thursday, February 15, 2018
Watch On-Demand and ASAP Sports full transcript (Member only)
Discussion points: Career changes are very often life-changing events, and can be influenced by any number of factors - Is it the right time to move? How do you know you're making the right decision? Is it worth considering a transition to a career outside of communications? What do athletic administrators look for in an athletic communications job applicant, and how can SIDs distinguish themselves from the pack when applying for a job?
Two athletic communications professionals (Coiro and Kobylanski) and University of Florida AD Stricklin — who started his career as an SID — have grappled with all of these variables and they discussed them at length while answering audience questions.
In addition, Kobylanski offered information about how CoSIDA's Job Seekers Committee assists our members with these issues.

Advocating For CoSIDA Members and the Athletic Communications Profession
December 10, 2017
Watch On-Demand and ASAP Sports full transcript (Member only)
Discussion centered around the importance of advocacy in our athletic communications profession, the importance of CoSIDA members advocating for themselves and building their personal brand in order to set themselves apart from other colleagues when working with campus/conference management; and how CoSIDA as an organization is advocating for its members, working with external stakeholders (NCAA, NAIA, coaching organizations, etc.) to enhance and advance the profession.
Three elements of advocacy covered included:
• Self-advocacy: How members can take appropriate actions to represent themselves and advance their own interests
• Peer advocacy: Taking action to represent the rights and interests of someone other than yourself
• Systems advocacy: Taking action to influence social/work/political systems to bring about change for our group of professionals
