We hope you are all keeping safe and well in the current unusual climate.
We have good news in that a couple of our very own have achieved awards in the England Athletics West Midlands Regional Volunteers Awards.
MMAC Chair, Graham Lamb of Burton AC, won the Run Leader of the Year category for his work with a young distance running group he built up from scratch – five girls from which were selected to represent their county at the English School Championships or Inter Counties. Undeterred by lockdown, Graham conducted online Zoom coaching sessions and encouraged the group to create Stava art.
Sam Cater, of Bromsgrove & Redditch AC, won Coach of the Year with his coaching work since passing Level 1, followed up by a throws coach award, at the age of 19. Sam is a kind and attentive coach and in addition to coaching veteran athletes who have succeeded well within their age groups, he has coached many promising young athletes, such as Lewis Byng diagnosed with autism and Tourretes syndrome, who has gone on to represent England and Great Britain at the age of 17.
