Call for nominees for the Pacific Association Legacy Coach Award:
In recognition of the many influential coaches who have served in our association who have selflessly strengthened our sport(s) through teaching, mentoring, and promoting our profession, the Coaches Committee is asking for nominees for the Legacy Coach Award. Long time Humboldt State coach Jim Hunt was our inaugural award recipient in 2010. Criterion will be weighted heavily on coaches who were not only great coaches, but who also inspired and trained/mentored many of us to become coaches ourselves...hence the idea of a Legacy Coach Award. Coaches submitted for consideration should have mentored former athletes to become successful coaches in their own right, in addition to:
- mentored former athletes
- having coached for a period of time in the Pacific Association
- exhibited qualities of ethical coaching
- contributed to several aspects of the association, while promoting the sports of USATF
- candidates could come from any level of coaching
Please submit names of nominees with details of their contributions as noted above to Dave Shrock at dshrock@pacbell.net. The deadline for submission of nominees is 31 December, 2010, with announcement of the recipient 22 January at the VSAthletics SuperClinic.
