In this episode of SportsHub, we sit down with Jay Miller, the new Athletic Director at Lake-Sumter State College, to talk about his transition from the dugout to the director’s office—and the journey that shaped him along the way. Jay reflects on how he first got into coaching, his 11-year run as the winningest girls softball coach in program history, and what it takes to build a culture of success both on and off the field.

He shares lessons learned from years of competition, leadership and mentoring student-athletes, and how those experiences now guide his vision as athletic director. One of the most powerful moments of the conversation centers on Abby, a student-athlete whose story changed Jay’s coaching philosophy and the way he connects with players forever.
