The Most Caring Youth Coach Award is a yearly event in which
thousands of coaches are nominated by readers in honor of the
outstanding mentoring of our nation’s youth. Founded by USA
WEEKEND Magazine in 1992, the Most Caring Youth Coach Award
honors three coaches who are selected by a panel of
distinguished professional and collegiate coaches. Three winners
are featured in the magazine’s Annual Awards Issue, and each
receives $1,000 for his or her team or favorite charity.
“The common thread among the many legendary athletes honored by
the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame is the guidance and
inspiration they receive from coaches in their younger,
formative years. We are honored to join USA WEEKEND’s long
tradition of honoring these exceptional role-model coaches in
our communities,” World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame Board
President Larry Maneely says.
Founded by former college coach Myron Finkbeiner in 1994, the
World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame honors prominent athletes
and professional or college coaches who are all-stars both in
their fields and communities. The USA WEEKEND Most Caring Youth
Coach Award joins the Humanitarian Hall’s national awards
program, which includes the Nell and John Wooden Lifetime
Coaching Achievement Award, Pro Team Community Award, Founder’s
Award, Tradition of Excellence Award (recognizing a former
Heisman Trophy recipient) and the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl
Student Humanitarian Awards.
