Mr Coach named Sussex Coach of the Year

[Mrs Coach]

I'm so proud of Mr Coach. He's been named the FA Grassroots Coach of the Year for Sussex and we're waiting nervously to hear if he's made it through to the National finals. No fingernails left already!
There were 1,800 entries made, according to the FA, and from those they picked just 43 County Winners, with Mr Coach representing Sussex.

Nine of the 43 will be going through to Bisham Abbey to compete for the National title, being judged by Sir Geoff Hurst and Sir Trevor Brooking.

Please cross your fingers, eyes and any other bits that wont need hospital intervention for becoming twisted, for him. We should hear by the end of the week with the Regional results.

Mrs Coach.

Well done, Mr Coach!

From what I saw down at South Heighton the other week ... a very deserved honour.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Top Coaching, fella.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Well played

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Superb news.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Marvellous news and very well deserved!

Forza Mr Coach!

 

[magoo]

well done him!

there's alot of good guys coaching at grass roots level so to win awards at it is quite an achievement

 

[Meade's Ball]

That's actually quite exciting news. Most of the time it's a why-doesn't-anyone-love-me or i-done-a-wotsit-last-night sort of thread that sums up people's lives here, but this is a sign of achievement i like to think we can appreciate a bit. So well done The Coaches, and good luck with the finals.

PS
Please think of a way of bruising or drugging a rival. It's the only way a winner acts.

Well done to Mr Coach and I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll make it through to the final.

I know from my son's involvement in junior football and cricket how much time and effort these unsung heroes put into their sport so any award is very richly deserved

Yes indeed. Also the GOOD coaches are like goldust. I'm sure Mr and Mrs Coach will agree that, even though people do it voluntarily, there are still far too many bad coaches/managers involved in boys' football. Well done Mr Coach, I wish there were more like you.
