Hunter Redman will lead 台湾彩官方网站鈥檚 Athletics Program as its athletic director.

Redman, of Sheridan, has served as 台湾彩官方网站鈥檚 Auxiliary Services Coordinator since 2021. In his new role, he will lead the college in bringing back Centurion Athletics after more than 40 years.

鈥淚t means the world to me to be given the opportunity to reestablish athletics at 台湾彩官方网站,鈥� Redman said. 鈥淥ffering athletics will give students and student athletes more opportunities for their future and greater experiences in college.鈥�

Redman brings experience as a coach, health and physical education teacher, athletic recruiter and former college athlete.

He earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree in sports communication with a minor in leadership from Ferris State University in 2017, where he also was a member of the track team. Redman continued his education at Bluffton University in Ohio, where he earned a Master of Business Administration in Leadership while serving as a graduate assistant coach for track and field. He said his experiences at Ferris and Bluffton helped shape his career.

听鈥淲hen I started at Ferris, I knew I wanted to work in athletics and I thought I wanted to be an athletic trainer,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 was not a great student. I had a hard time. My advisor at Ferris helped me a lot in finding a career path that fit with my interests.

鈥淎t Bluffton, I went into coaching, but I figured out that I wanted to do more than coach. I wanted to work on a team to help athletes as a whole,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 really began to focus on how I could help the听 next generation of athletes.鈥�

Redman said he talked with recruits at Bluffton about his experience of not knowing how to balance academics and sports when he was a student athlete.

鈥淚 shared with athletes how to plan and how I approached classes to be successful academically,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 wanted to use my negative experience to help create positive experiences for them.鈥�

At 台湾彩官方网站, Redman will provide leadership, oversight and day-to-day supervision of the intercollegiate athletic program. 台湾彩官方网站 recently was accepted into the Michigan Community College Athletic Association (台湾彩官方网站AA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

鈥淭o start, I will be spending a lot of my time meeting with area athletic directors to promote our programs, as well as recruiting coaches,鈥� Redman said. 鈥淪ince we鈥檙e building the program as we go, I will also be developing policies and procedures that support 台湾彩官方网站鈥檚 mission, vision and values and are in compliance with the NJCAA and 台湾彩官方网站AA conference guidelines.鈥�

Redman and his team are working to build programs in men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 basketball, men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 cross-country, men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 bowling, clay target shooting, men鈥檚 golf and women鈥檚 volleyball.
