The UK Coaching Awards is a prestigious event within the coaching community and celebrates coaches at all levels across the nation. From the elite to the grassroots, they were established to recognise the invaluable role coaches play in building a happier and healthier society – whether masterminding a gold medal moment that can inspire thousands, or turning up week in, week out to support participants at a community sports club.
With previous award winners including Judy Murray and Aston Moore (Lifetime Achievement award), Sarina Wiegman (Great Coaching Moment of the Year), and the coaches behind Lucy Bronze and Ben Stokes’ path to success (Coaching Chain award), the awards reflect the unforgettable coaching highlights of each year and the tireless work that goes on behind the scenes.
"We are very excited to announce the finalists of the 2024 UK Coaching Awards. Each year we see true excellence from our coaches in the UK at every level, and it is a welcome challenge to select our finalists. Coaches across the nation can all be proud of the incredible contribution they make to health and well-being in the UK."
