Coaches play an incredibly influential role in the lives of athletes. Often players spend more time with their coaches than anyone else outside of the home environment. That's why it's crucial that we recognize and hold great coaches up as an example to others. Is your coach a Double-Goal Coach®? A Double-Goal Coach® strives to win while also pursuing the more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports while teaching players how to honor the game, filling their emotional tanks, and allowing mistakes as part of the learning process.

A strong nomination includes:

• Detailed responses to 3 essay questions including specific examples and in-depth descriptions

• Plenty of detail- keep in mind we only know about your coach from what you share

• As many references as possible- only 3 are required, however, the more input we have the better

• A variety of references for a full picture of the coach: players, parents, fellow coaches, administrators

• Frequent checks after submitting to ensure your references have submitted

• Ensuring your nomination is fully submitted and has the required references by the deadline
