Chris Del Conte begins journey as Texas Athletics Director

Del Conte was introduced as The University of Texas’ Athletics Director on Monday.

Be humble. Be honest. Serve others.

Those are the words that Chris Del Conte's father instilled in him at a young age, and the words that he lives by each day in the world of athletic administration. He grew up in both Mexico and New Mexico in a children's home started by his parents who were Christian missionaries, and he continues to live out those servant leadership principles on a daily basis.

"My philosophy is simple: my job is to support coaches and student-athletes in their endeavors to win championships, period," Del Conte said at his introductory press conference on Monday.
