The Positive Coaching Alliance Double-Goal Coach Awards, presented by Liberty Mutual Insurance, honor coaches whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more important goal is teaching life lessons through sports. Positive Coaching Alliance annually gives its Double-Goal Coach Award to 20 youth and high school sports coaches from throughout the U.S. who embody the ideals of the Double-Goal Coach, striving to win, while also pursuing the even more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports.
