RE: Coach Sauer Resigns. Heading Back to Montana
I am all for progressive, cutting edge training and performance. What I have a major problem with is that Eric Korem is an Assoc. Athletics Dir, and Keir Wenham-Flatts is a Dir of Athletics Performance. Both have been in their respective positions for a while, and, I assume, both, are full time employees of the College. Both, use their twitter accounts actively for industry communication and W&M athletics promo. Yet, neither one has ANY indication of the W&M position/employment in their twitter profiles.
Ttgwm02 alluded to this in an earlier post. While they are under W&M employment, when their twitter accounts are being used with W&M related content, their accounts need to reflect as such and any social media communication around W&M falls under their employer's responsibility. Otherwise, their personal twitter accounts and any active outside income generation needs to be kept separate. Fine line on social media regarding benefitting, both W&M, and their personal careers, but at the moment they are representing W&M in this capacity. If, due to low salary, we have made agreements to allow these guys to supplement their income, then clear policy needs to be in place regarding those boundaries. I, personally, have a hard time with that kind of arrangement due to commitment and legal vulnerabities.
Wenham-Flatts has previously posted several W&M position recruitment tweets, including the comment to DM him for info. This one today (below) made a different comment regarding DM'ing him that was not very professional. All of this may be a matter of picky detail and simply communicating employer expectations/guidelines, but it is an area of policy that should have already been in place for all of the Athletic Dept.

Anyone who wants to work with myself,
@ErikKorem, @skuehn_88 and @MCQ79, we have an opening for an athletic performance coach to work with both soccer teams and baseball. Consult William and Mary jobs for portal for details. If you DM me about this, we're gonna have a bad time.
