2011 Pacific Association Legacy Coach Award

The PAUSATF Coaches Committee recognizes many influential coaches who have served in the association who have selflessly strengthened their sport through teaching, mentoring, and promoting their profession.

Long time Humboldt State coach Jim Hunt was the inaugural award recipient in 2010.

Criterion will be weighted heavily on coaches who were not only great coaches, but who also inspired and trained/mentored many of us to become coaches ourselves…hence the idea of a Legacy Coach Award.

Coaches submitted for consideration should have mentored former athletes become successful coaches in their own right
Mentored former athletes
Having coached for a period of time in the Pacific Association
Exhibited qualities of ethical coaching
Contributed to several aspects of the association, while promoting the sports of USATF
Candidates could come from any level of coaching

The 2011 Pacific Association Legacy Coach Award winner is:
