Behind every Olympic moment that takes our breath away stands a coach who never stopped believing.

Behind every Olympic moment that takes our breath away stands a coach who never stopped believing. 🏅

The 2025 IOC Coaches Award nominations are NOW OPEN, and this is personal for me. My rowing coach at Penn didn't just teach technique: he taught me to fight for what's right, lessons I carried from the water to the courtroom to the IOC.

Think about it: Coaches see potential when we see limits. They push when we want to quit. They celebrate our victories and carry us through defeats. Yet too often, they work in the shadows.

This award changes that. It's our chance to say THANK YOU to those who transform lives, not just athletes.

Who's the coach that changed YOUR journey? Whether they coached you to Olympic gold or simply taught you to never give up in youth sports—they deserve recognition.

Nominate at https://www.olympics.com/athlete365/news/ioc-coaches-lifetime-achievement-awards/nominate-your-coach-for-the-2025-ioc-coaches-award before the deadline! Tag a coach below who made a difference. Let's flood this feed with gratitude. 🙏

Coaches: You are the backbone of our Movement. This is your moment.
