“The transition with Bound was huge. Being on one platform for all stakeholders, we moved our whole student registration to Bound, which was, in my opinion, almost seamless.”
Julie Girsch | Columbus Catholic Activities Director
Time for a switch.
When Julie Girsch took over as Athletic Director at Columbus Catholic, she quickly recognized the limitations of the software tools in place. The system relied heavily on individuals to manage forms and track records manually, and efficiency often suffered as a result. Bound offered a different path—one that emphasized shared access, automation, and ease.
“When I came over, we had some software… but one of the pieces that was not super smooth was the efficiency of those programs and them being very person dependent.”
With Bound, Columbus transitioned their entire student registration process to a fully digital workflow. Everything from rosters to eligibility documents is now available in one place, reducing reliance on paper and freeing up time across the department.

Activities Director at Columbus Catholic
Julie had seen enough within her first year to know a change was needed. After conversations with leadership, she pushed to adopt Bound, and Columbus Catholic became a full Bound school the following year.
“Immediately within six months I knew I was going to switch to Bound... We launched it in my second year, which was our first full year of a Let’s Go Bound school.”
More than just a product shift, the transition represented a cultural change, one where ADs no longer had to handle everything alone, they could connect with Bound’s team, many of whom have walked in Julie’s shoes.
“It really does feel like the Bound directors, and everybody from the help desk, are part of our team. They understand the grind we’re going through and help support us so we can be successful for our students.”
