About Dr. Jason Smith My name is Jason Smith, and my story is deeply rooted in Nashville, TN. Growing up in a diverse, multicultural environment gave me a unique perspective and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. My Journey & Philosophy For twelve years, I had the privilege of serving as a coach and Athletic Director within the Metropolitan Nashville Public School System. That time was foundational, not just for my career, but for me as a person. Building lasting relationships with my student-athletes taught me the true meaning of empathy and strength, and it cemented my core belief in servant leadership. My goal has always been to light a fire in people, not under them. My passion is empowering future teachers, coaches, and mentors to find their own paths to success. A Decade at TSU & Looking Forward In 2012, I brought this passion to the collegiate level at Tennessee State University, and it's been an incredible decade of growth! Here, I've focused on providing strategic leadership and building a vibrant, collaborative community among our students, staff, and academic departments. As the Department Chair of the Human Performance and Sport Sciences and my extensive background as a coach and athletic director, combining administrative leadership with my passion for student success. Whether on or off campus, my mission is to create programs that foster success for everyone. I'm still bringing a full tank of positive energy to every teaching and learning environment, and I couldn't be more excited to continue creating opportunities for the next generation.
