Hall of Honor Series: Ray Zepeda Talks UIL Leadership, Legacy & the Texas Way

  • Summary

  • In this special Hall of Honor Series episode of the THSADA Director’s Cut, we sit down with Ray Zepeda, UIL’s Director of Athletics and a 2025 inductee into the THSADA Hall of Honor.

    From humble beginnings as a Houston-area coach to leading statewide initiatives that impact thousands, Ray shares powerful reflections on the role of mentorship, the strength of community, and the passion that’s fueled his journey for more than three decades.

    We talk about:

    • His path from the sideline to UIL leadership
    • The launch and statewide impact of The Texas Way sportsmanship initiative
    • Navigating legislative challenges in education-based athletics
    • Balancing family, purpose, and a career of service

    This episode is more than a celebration of a remarkable career — it’s a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and staying mission-driven in the face of change.
