Colonel Hans J. MuehDr. Hans J. Mueh
Director of Athletics
“Athletic competition tests an individual’s ability to operate under stress, against adversity and as a selfless member of a team. The stresses encountered in highly competitive athletic contests are very similar to those encountered in combat. It is critically important to ensure the leaders of tomorrow are prepared for diverse and challenging situations. The Athletic Department staff is committed to producing the best officers possible for tomorrow’s Air Force. Every cadet is challenged physically and mentally to develop the skills and abilities critical to being an aggressive team player with the will to win.”

Dr. Hans J. Mueh, USAF (Retired), graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with the Class of 1966. He has served as an intelligence analyst in Virginia; a special assistant on technical matters in the Pentagon; an intelligence officer in both Vietnam and Thailand; and as associate professor, tenure professor and permanent professor at the Air Force Academy. Prior to becoming Director of athletics he was Vice Dean of the Faculty, Permanent Professor, and Head of the Department of Chemistry. Dr. Mueh earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the Air Force Academy, a master’s degree and a doctoral degree in chemistry (distinguished graduate) from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Dr. Mueh became the ninth Director of Academy Athletics in August 2004.
