Athletic directors work in a typical business office setting. Athletic directors at large schools have their own offices and large administrative staffs, while directors at small schools may have to share an office and do much of the work associated with this position themselves.
Athletic directors often work more than 40 hours a week, including evenings and weekends. They travel to professional conferences, to league meetings, and to other colleges for important games. They might be on the road an entire weekend for an important football game or a few weekdays for league or association meetings.
