2019 Club and School Coach of the Year

Coaches at all levels play a fundamental role in the growth and development of squash. It’s great to see so many coaches were nominated and have been recognized for what they do; it reflects how important their roles are within club and school settings.

The panel considered the following:

• Coach's impact - influence that the coach has had on participation / membership
• Athlete outcomes - evidence of improving players / team’s performances to achieve results
• Coach activity - number of hours coached and types of program’s / services offered
• Coach development - number of modules attended and other learning opportunities taken

We received four very strong worthy nominations. Congratulations to all of them:

• Adam Odering
• John Brown
• Chris Jarrett
• Paul McFadzien

There can only be one winner and the 2019 Club and School Coach of the year is John Brown. Congratulations to John.

John has had a sterling year of coaching in the Christchurch area with individuals, Christchurch Boys High students and as Burnside Squash Club coach.
