2025 was a landmark year for the Texas High School Athletic Directors Association – a year defined by growth, innovation, and impact. In this special Director’s Cut episode, we take a powerful look back at the moments, voices, and milestones that made this year one for the record books.

From record-setting attendance at major events like the State Conference, Fall Forum, and Spring Sponsor Showcase, to new initiatives like the Texas Cup and Educate • Excel • Play, THSADA’s commitment to school-based athletics reached new heights. We also expanded our reach through JAM Satellite Sessions and leveraged impactful digital content to support ADs across the state like never before.

This year-end highlight reel brings together some of the most compelling interviews, reflections, and leadership moments captured on video in 2025. You’ll hear from seasoned athletic directors, rising leaders, and expert voices who reflect on purpose, passion, and the lasting value of interscholastic athletics.

Special thanks to our episode sponsor, Hellas Construction, and to all THSADA members, partners, and supporters who helped make 2025 such a meaningful success. Here's to building on that momentum in 2026.
