COACHES AWARDS
The Coaches Perpetual Trophies were donated by Sandra Sue Adams-Choate, Maintree, with this note: "The riders of the NCEL teams recognize and honor-The Coaches who are teachers, mentors and friends, Who inspire, challenge and are infinitely fair."
"Sharing one's knowledge gained over a lifetime of experience is one the greatest gifts that can be given. Coaches are teachers, mentors and friends who give the gift of their knowledge and experience to their students. Coaches challenge their protegees to ride to the best of their ability. They set the standards for their students in all aspects of horsemanship. They foster team spirit and promote good sportsmanship and keen, but fair, competition. Coaches are hard taskmasters but infinitely fair. These awards are given each year to the coach in each League whom the NCEL team members have chosen to be especially honored and recognized for their dedication to the sport."
