Selected by OAT&CCC Presented by OHSAA
This award is exactly for the Coach that exhibits the three points that are in the title. Not ONLY must he exhibit sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity, he must through his example instill them in his athletes. The coaches success is not measured in wins or losses. But in his positive impact on his athletes.
