Marv Carlson - Glenbard South High School
|
| Throughout his career, Marv Carlson served as a significant contributor to the development of the athletic program at Glenbard South High School and as a reliable and conscientious supporter of the Illinois Athletic Directors Association. Accepting numerous leadership positions in the IADA primarily involved with the conference committee, Marv revealed his commitment to the principles of the state organization while maintaining a leadership role in improving the athletic program at Glenbard South. He also applied that positive approach to his administrative duties during his 16 years as the head of the Glenbard South athletic program. Marv’s professional associations were many and reflected the many interests that directly impacted student-athletes in his school and in the Chicago suburban area. Initially involved in coaching, he began his career on the sidelines in 1962. During these years, he earned the respect of his fellow coaches in four different sports. After moving into the athletic directorship at Glenbard South, Marv devoted the next 16 years to molding and improving the athletic opportunities for athletes in the school district. He was a 16-year member of the IADA and the NIAAA. He was instrumental in helping develop the Suburban Prairie Conference and held a variety of positions in the DuPage Valley Conference. When not involved in an administrative capacity he helped facilitate the athletic programs of many schools in his area as a game official, refereeing for IHSA, NCAA, and NAIA events for thirty-eight years. This avocation led to his being inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2002. From honored official to dedicated coach to respected athletic administrator, Marv Carlson has spent a professional lifetime achieving positive goals and serving the athletes and coaches under his charge – a career certainly worthy of his induction into the Illinois Athletic Directors Hall of Fame. |
