To a new surprise this year we have our new athletic director, Kelly Schneider, who has stepped up to the role this year after some problems in the previous year. All of our sports teams are excited for his new position and imagined how it is gonna go down. To get to know him better here is the interview done to our new athletic director:
Q: What is the athletic director?
A: “The athletic director is basically the person who oversees all athletics on campus, making sure the games are scheduled, contracts are signed, the officials are present, that the buses are coming…and making sure the games run the right way.”
Q: When did you know you were going to take this role?
A: “I pretty much decided I was gonna be the athletic director last May. In June, I decided to take it full time.”
Q: How has the workload been?
A: “It's been a little more than I expected. I am a lot more busy now than I was before but it's enjoyable. I like what I’m doing everyday; I feel I'm making a difference with the athletic program.”
Q: What is your favorite sport?
A: “ On campus they all were great. I enjoy watching football, volleyball, tennis, and I actually got to coach golf when Mr. Fong was out. Watching cross country and all our sports have been running well this fall.”
Q: Are you planning on doing this for multiple years?
A: “Hopefully, I plan to. It is something that I took with the consideration that overtime I can help take Mayfair where it was with a great foundation and give it my little spin on it. I can also make it a little better over the year before it is my turn to head off into the sunset.”
Mr. Schneider is a great teacher and leader and we are all glad that he has been chosen as our athletic director. I hope he is with us for many years and is able to see the improvements of our sports teams for both the spring and fall seasons.
