Athletic Department Consulting

Stronger athletic departments, built with purpose.

Practical guidance for schools that want better leadership, stronger systems, healthier culture, gender equity, athletic medical review, and athletics aligned with the school’s fundamental ideology.

The Problem We Solve

Move beyond reactive athletic management.

Athletic departments are expected to manage coaches, budgets, facilities, parents, compliance, health and safety, fundraising, and student-athlete experience — often without enough support.

Create clear systems, expectations, and accountability across the department.
Align athletics with the mission, values, and identity of the institution.
What Makes ALG Different

We do not just evaluate programs. We help schools build departments that work.

ALG brings real athletic administration, coaching, fundraising, league leadership, and program-building experience to the table. When specialized review is needed, auxiliary staffing is handled by top-level experts in their field.

  • Department-wide evaluation and practical recommendations
  • Title IX and gender equity review
  • Athletic medical and sports medicine department review
  • Fundraising, facilities, staffing, and operational support
