Consulting
Bring us your challenges
The CSA Consulting practice is defined by a commitment to assist our Athletics Director colleagues, Presidents, and other institutional leaders in preserving an alignment between the mission of athletics with that of the institution. Our staff consists of former head coaches, athletic directors, administrators, and executives. We treat each project with curiosity of the unknown and the expertise of what we do know.
