📢 COACHING NOMINATIONS WANTED 📢
Coaches are the very lifeblood of our sport, so we are calling on the athletics community to nominate a deserving coach for the 2023 Arthur Eustace Award for Coaching.
The award recognises coaches who demonstrate the values Arthur held dear around coaching, which was always athlete-focused with a commitment to learning.
The 2022 winner of the Arthur Eustace Award for Coaching, Raylene Bates, was kindly nominated by Paralympic javelin F46 champion Holly Robinson and hammer thrower Dyani Shepherd-Oates, both of whom are coached by Raylene.
So, we would love to hear from any athletes about which coach you would nominate for the prestigious award. 🙏
Nominations are open until 22 January. The nomination form is 👇
