Great coaches hide in plain sight – they could be a bus driver, doctor, or accountant. Do you know a coach who’s an everyday hero? Sport NZ, in collaboration with Coach For Life Foundation, has launched a new campaign which aligns with the end of the winter sport season for many young people. ‘Everyday Heroes’ aims to make coaches feel recognised and valued for their important role in our communities.   Anyone can let a coach know much they mean by sending them a personalised thank you message for another great season at thankscoach.co.nz 🖤
