What partners say.
Dan WoodExecutive Director, NCCAA
“Mike and Andrew bring their wealth of experience and merge knowledge with time tested wisdom to help any Athletic Director or staff elevate their program.”
Scott BosgrafMen’s Soccer Coach, Covenant College
“Mike and Andrew did a tremendous job of identifying needs in our athletic department and came up with practical and timely solutions. They were personable and professional and spent quality time making sure they understood the needs of our athletic department. Oak Hill is the group you want on your team to optimize and streamline a process that will benefit and enhance your athletic department.”
John HirteDirector of Athletics, Covenant College
“Mike and Andrew have been incredibly helpful to myself and our department through the athletic audit process. I was impressed immediately with their desire to get to know me and our institution — their recommendations following the audit were clear, concise, and practical. We benefited greatly from our partnership with them!”
Sarah Gustin-HamrockExecutive Director of Athletics, Messiah University
“When the time came for us to write a new strategic plan, we wanted an outside perspective on where we stood and Mike and Andrew were the perfect option for us. They were able to assess our processes, policies and culture and give us valuable feedback to inform our new strategic plan, but also to share with campus constituents and help us better present ourselves to the institution. Mike and Andrew were fun to work with, perceptive in their assessments, and gave us a finished product that was extremely useful and will inform many decisions moving forward. I highly recommend working with them if given the opportunity!”
Matt WebbDirector of Athletics, Houghton University
“Mike and Andrew were excellent to work with. They have a unique mix of experience and expertise in athletic administration. Their investment in our staff have helped to develop our culture as we continue to build and grow our program.
As we are in a new institutional strategic plan, we invested in this process and it has shown to be extremely helpful as we look for ways to improve, grow, and get better at what we do. It is an investment, but from my perspective it has been totally worth it. If you are considering something like this, I would highly recommend Mike and Andrew.”
Steve O’NeilHead of School, Vail Christian High School
“We engaged Oak Hill because we wanted to achieve a higher level of athletic excellence. Our newly adopted strategic plan prioritized Athletics Distinction — having VCHS Athletics be known in our local market and far beyond for its excellence and for equipping our students to become what we call a Portrait of a Saint.
The Oak Hill Athletic Audit was the perfect answer — putting our strong athletic programs under a microscope to celebrate what we’re already doing well but to identify areas to strengthen. The audit did just that! Yes, it identified many strengths but also weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
Most importantly, the audit’s Outcome Document provided solutions and a roadmap to get there — seven stages that we’re now implementing. One of the most important results of that work is that our talented coaches, who previously largely worked in silos with their programs, are now working together to help create a unified athletic department better aligned with our school’s overall mission, values, culture, and vision. Oak Hill’s work created a new team — our coaches.
Beyond the audit, Oak Hill ran a half-day clinic for all our coaches on two vital topics — Behaviors Matter and Defining Success. They nailed it! Analogous to farming, they tilled up our athletic soil giving it oxygen, nutrients, and water, and our coaches are now planting new seeds that will yield an abundant harvest. They provided our coaches with inspiration and the tools to take VCHS Athletics to the next level.”
Phillip PriceChairman of the Board of Trustees, Augusta Christian Schools
“Working with Andrew and Mike has truly been amazing. Our entire Board enjoyed the opportunity to work with these guys and appreciate the way they built a road map to departmental success; not just professionally, but personally as well. True men of character…”
Chris TwineAthletic Director, St. Thomas’ Episcopal School
“Oak Hill Consulting provided outstanding strategic leadership and operational expertise, helping transform STE Athletics into a more unified, mission-driven, and sustainable program positioned for long-term excellence.”
