5 Strategies for Navigating Spring Athletic Seasons with Justina Jackson-Brownlee

In this episode of GADA Today, presented by Coaches Tool Chest we feature Justina Jackson-Brownlee, District Athletic Coordinator for Clayton County Public Schools, as she shares five essential strategies to help Athletic Directors successfully manage the Spring Storm—one of the busiest and most complex seasons in school athletics.

  • Empower Your Coaches: Ensure they play an active role in eligibility and compliance.
  • Streamline Eligibility Management: Utilize electronic platforms to track student-athlete documentation.
  • Create a Master Schedule: Keep all stakeholders informed and organized.
  • Develop an Emergency Action Plan: Be prepared for weather disruptions, safety incidents, and more.
  • Strengthen Feeder School Relationships: Build connections with elementary and high schools to support student transitions.

The spring season is fast-paced, but with these strategies, you can lead with confidence, minimize chaos, and create a seamless experience for athletes, coaches, and administrators.
