Brendan Tobin: Athletics Director of the Tashkent International School - Silver Linings During a Pandemic

Athletics For Life

For our new Athletics for Life Podcast episode, we interviewed the Athletics Director of the Tashkent International School Brendan Tobin. We wanted to talk with Brendan as he organized a very successful virtual cross-country event. Many international schools from all over the globe participated in the Tashkent Virtual XC. Brendan explained his rationale for hosting this event, what went well and what would he have done differently. This interview will definitely help Athletic Directors that are interested to host a virtual event but might be hesitative to actually go for it. We want to thank Brendan for sharing his experiences with us and his support of the educational-based athletics philosophy.

Quote: 'It is so important that we try to give our student-athletes an opportunity to connect with each other, and sports is the perfect vehicle to support that'
