| NE Hants SSP Coach of the Year Award for Adrian Dove |
Adrian Dove was presented with the "Coach of the Year" award by the NE Hampshire Schools Sports Partnership in a ceremony last Thursday at the Princes Hall in Aldershot. Osaka's Josh Roberts picked up most improved sportsman requiring additional assistance.  On seeing Adrian presented with his award back at the club, one of the parents later wrote by e-mail: "I just wanted to say that the award that Sensei Adrian won for his coaching is thoroughly deserved. I think that all of his team are brilliant, but he has a very special gift when working with children. I work with children myself and know how difficult it is to capture their attention and get the best out of them at all times. I watch all of those children in his class - whatever their level glow with pride and try their hardest for him. His encouragement to all is fab, even when telling them how not to do something. I am sure that his judo ability is brilliant, but his way with his members is worth just as much." 21 July 2008 |
