Karen King, Coaching Director, made it to a shortlist of three for the prestigious Coach Educator of the year award, presented by Sportscoach UK in a glittering ceremony in London. Karen was highlighted as one of the shortlisted nominees for the award, which was won By Rugby League’s Vinny Webb.
Karen has created, implemented and coordinated the Rounders coach education programme, utilising the support of existing volunteers and her own specialised knowledge. Rounders is the only phase 3 UKCC sport to have achieved both Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications, both in less than a year, and Karen has achieved this in record time and with a very small budget. Her commitment, knowledge and enthusiasm have created a catalyst for coaching in Rounders, and because of Karen’s efforts we have laid the foundations and are ready for delivery.
Karen has quickly gained recognition and respect in Rounders for her coaching expertise and has enthused others with her passion for coaching. Karen has contributed enormously to raising the profile and professional image of Rounders, not just in coaching but also in her team approach to other initiatives such as the development of the Whole Sport Plan.
We are very proud of her achievement.
