The University of California’s athletics department strives to build a consistent culture of excellence for approximately 850 student-athletes in 30 varsity athletic programs. Cal’s elite coaches utilize strategies to build leaders who will succeed long after student-athletes have donned the blue and gold in competitive arenas. Join Cal Director of Athletics Jim Knowlton and nationally-regarded head coaches Teri McKeever (women’s swimming and diving) and Jack Clark (rugby) to learn how sports high-performance leadership and motivational strategies can inspire you to pursue excellence in your personal and professional aspirations.
Jim Knowlton is in his second year as director of athletics, having established himself as a dynamic leader and accomplished administrator through service in intercollegiate athletics and the U.S. Army. Prior to his coming to Berkeley, Knowlton served as AD at Air Force for three years and previously spent seven overseeing the athletic department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he was named the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Athletic Director of the Year. Throughout his career, Knowlton has focused on and successfully fostered programs that place a premium on leadership and character development among student-athletes, coaches, and staff.
Regarded as one of the most accomplished swimming mentors in the United States — if not the world — Teri McKeever is entering her 29th season overseeing the women’s swimming and diving program. Over the course of her career with the Golden Bears, she has guided Cal to four NCAA and four Pac-12 team championships, and top three finishes at the NCAA Championships 11 years in a row for the longest current streak in the country. In 2012, McKeever served as head coach of the U.S. Olympic women’s swimming team in London, a unit that included six past, present, and future Golden Bears who produced 13 medals for Team USA.
Jack Clark is entering his 37th year as head coach, and has directed the Golden Bears to 24 national 15s and five national sevens championships. Under his leadership, Cal has posted records of 671-94-5 (.875) in 15s and 174-19-0 (.901) in sevens, earning him UC Berkeley’s Glenn T. Seaborg Award, a Living Legend honor by Pac-12 Networks, and a selection to the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame. Clark has produced 136 All-Americans and 48 players with 715 combined appearances on the United States National 15s Team. A member of the U.S. Rugby Hall of Fame, Clark served as the head coach of the U.S. National Team from 1993–99.
