UK Coaching CEO Mark Gannon said:
There are coaches everyday who go above and beyond to change the lives of the people they coach. Great coaches motivate, encourage, and most importantly, support us with the wraparound care to ensure sport is accessible, inclusive, and safe for all and that we reap the countless benefits of taking part.

UK Coaching exists to be here for the coach and unite communities to show their support for the amazing work coaches deliver from grassroots all the way to elite level.”
