Dr. Marshall Milbrath
I am a poised and passionate critical pedagogue, researcher, and coach who believes that all people are entitled to the pursuit of happiness through sport and education. I identify as a neo-generalist having worked with athletes, pre-service teachers, and developing health & fitness professionals over the past decade.
As a curriculum & assessment expert, I specialize in aligning educational programming with institutional values, mission, and national learning standards. In 2019-2020, I facilitated the creation of an undergraduate curriculum that allows for plans of study in all areas of kinesiology; the only such curriculum in Illinois.
My scholarship is focused on human endurance, psychosocial topics in sport, sport-coaching, and leadership. As an activist, I advocate for the professionalization of coaching, and the commitment of higher education's provision of relevant, relatable, and rigorous opportunities that are directly tied to a meaningful return on students' investments. I am an unapologetic idealist, and believe that no committed person or organization should settle for less than the complete realization of their mission, goals, and mastery of their craft. I bring this view to all aspects of my work.

I am eager to work with like-minded professionals through the following opportunities:

Effective coaching relies on a coach's ability to organize, plan, and administer practice sessions. Effective coaching includes both the knowledge of appropriate coaching strategies, and the demonstration of useful coaching skills.

As a national and international presenter on education, sport, and leadership, I am available to present on topics that apply to a wide range of fields. I am comfortable presenting to groups of 10-10,000 attendees, through keynote addresses, inservice sessions, and on shared stages with other leaders in a variety of industries.
