Athletes in Excellence Update

We are so thrilled with the response to our new Athletes in Excellence award program! In just the three weeks since it was launched, we have received a number of nominations of athletes who consistently reach beyond their sport to create a positive impact in the world.

WHO WOULD YOU NOMINATE?

Do you know of an elite-level athlete who spends as much time improving their community through service as they do training for their sport? We want to recognize the game changers — those athletes who are solid role models for youth and believe in and create an atmosphere of positive sport — all the while applying those some principles to their community.

Anyone may nominate an athlete to win the “Athletes in Excellence” Award. Simply email your submission toawards@globalsportsdevelopment.org. All submissions must be received by August 31, 2014. In addition to award recognition, each award winner will receive a $10,000 grant. Learn more here.
