UK Coaching National Award Winner!

Huge congratulations to Pete Maliphant for winning the 2022 UK Coaching - Talent Development Coach of the Year Award.

Yesterday evening Pete was presented with this prestigious national award in recognition for his achievements working with and getting the most out of emerging and young athletes.

Earlier this year, at the JK in South Wales, it was a privilege to present Pete with the British Orienteering Coach of the Year Award; now it is fantastic to see his efforts recognised not just by us in the Orienteering family but by the entire UK sporting community.

Although it may have come as a bit of a surprise to Pete, the young people, parents, and fellow coaches he works alongside, are in absolutely no doubt that his efforts and achievements should be nationally recognised and celebrated in this way. 

This award is not only great for Pete and the young people in the South West Junior Orienteering Squad, but orienteering coaches and volunteers around the UK are also greatly encouraged by this recognition and celebrate along with him.

Congratulations again from the whole British Orienteering community, we wish Pete and all our amazing coaches many more years of success and enjoyment in the great work they do.
