Now in its seventh year, the event is attended by leading figures from sports, Government and media. The Awards are covered by BBC, Sky News and Sport, national and regional newspapers and continuing recognition would be provided by sports coach UK through its website and quarterly magazine.
Steve Parkin, chief executive of sports coach UK, said: “We believe every sponsor in UK sport should feel that they are putting something into coaching. This is a unique opportunity to be publicly recognised as being involved in developing sport through the pyramid of coaching in the UK.”
Chairman of sports coach UK and former coach to the gold medal-winning British men’s hockey team at the 1988 Olympics, David Whitaker OBE, added: “If just one per cent of annual sponsorship fees were invested in coaching development, the long-term benefits to UK sport would be immeasurable. Better coaching will lead to better sport, not just for the elite but at all levels.”
The invitation only event takes place at the CafC) Royal, London on December 2, 2004. Guests of honour include HRH The Princess Royal, Minister for Sport Richard Caborn MP, Lord Coe, Sir Clive Woodward and an array of leading representatives from the world of sport.
