Mission: Find Your Fuel

Send us Fan MailEpisode 5 - Mission: Find Your FuelDr. Ron Moses, Deputy AD for Internal Operations at Old Dominion, cuts through the NIL/transfer noise and gets back to the backbone of college sports: academics, outcomes, and human development. From an unconventional path—Youth Challenge Academy, the military, Georgia Military College—to building outcome-driven cultures (3.0 team standards, mental-health staffing, athlete dining), Ron shows how discipline and accountability travel from the barracks to the locker room. He breaks down the new era’s realities—revenue share, portal churn, real financial literacy (LLCs, taxes, philanthropy)—and why departments must align beyond silos to truly serve students. Bottom line: remember your why, “find your fuel,” and build systems that change lives, not just scoreboards.Follow DBTM @drivenbythemission on IG, Facebook, TikTokSubscribe / Rate / Share if an episode has impacted you—because if it helps one, it’s worth it.
