Behind every successful athlete, artist, or leader, there is always someone who believed in them first. That “someone” is often a youth coach — the unsung hero who gives their time, energy, and wisdom not for fame or wealth, but for the growth of the next generation. These coaches are mentors, role models, and guardians of hope. In fields where resources are scarce and recognition is minimal, youth coaches continue to train, guide, and inspire. They sacrifice comfort, push through challenges, and choose to see potential where others see nothing. Their impact goes ...
