Do you have an amazing coach?  Somebody who lifts you up to achieve things you used to think of as impossible?  

Maybe you have a coach that helped you to focus on fitness and education when there other things troubling you.  Plenty of coaches go above and beyond writing workouts and blowing whistles—but most of them don’t get the credit they deserve.

If you know a coach that deserves some recognition, you can nominate them as Coach of the Year in the Play It Forward competition, hosted by YouthNoise and Up2Us. The winning coaches will be recognized in front of congressional representatives during a briefing on youth obesity, and the athletes who submit them will get $150 worth of Nike products!

Entries can be submitted until September 10—so it’s not too late to enter, but it is time to get a move on! Submit at our Play It Forward page, and then tell everyone who knows your coach to register and vote, because the 10 finalists will be determined by online voting.

After that, it’s up to a panel of judges from Up2Us. So get with it and put your coach online for the world to see!
