Liberty Mutual Award
WYSA wishes to congratulate John Burke of Lake Country United for being awarded with the 2009 Responsible Coaching Award for Soccer!
"The Responsible Sports program celebrates the dedication and selflessness of youth coaches who give of themselves to teach our children the rules of sport and fair play, and, in many cases, the rules of life," said Greg Gordon, Senior Vice President, Manager, Consumer Marketing at Liberty Mutual. "It also provides parents and coaches alike with a common platform to align community-sport priorities and expectations. The result is thousands of compelling and uplifting stories of the positive sporting environments that have been created for young athletes across America.”
