USA WEEKEND
Most Caring Youth Coach Award
2008 Most Caring Coach winners
Our judges pick the three top mentors for 2008 from a record 1,920 nominations.
This winter, for the 15th time, USA WEEKEND invited readers to nominate outstanding youth coaches who have an impact in their communities and inspire their young charges, on and off the field. Nearly 2,000 players, parents, school administrators and others inundated our offices with heartfelt tributes. We had a big job ahead of us.
Last month, with the list narrowed down to 10 finalists, our judges, including the Colorado Rockies' Clint Hurdle and the Arizona Cardinals' Ken Whisenhunt, chose the three winners. Each gets $1,000 for his team or favorite charity and will be honored by our program partner, the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame, at its awards ceremony in Boise on June 24.
