The Coach is the Key to
Character-Focused Athletics
On January 31, 2008, the CHAMP Commission held its first major community event -- the CHAMP Community Kick-Off and Fund-Raising Breakfast, featuring Keli McGregor, President of the Colorado Rockies, and Sonny Lubick, former Colorado State University Head Football Coach. The CHAMP Commission honored Sonny with the first annual 'Sonny Lubick Coach of Character Award.' Future awards will be presented to one outstanding youth coach of character per year. Read the story...
The Community Kick-Off officially ended CHAMP's "pilot"
programs which have been running in Poudre School District,
the Fort Collins Baseball Club and the City of Fort Collins Recreation Department for over a year. Money raised at the breakfast will be used to equip coaches with the things they need to integrate a character focus into their athletic programs: resources, training, award and recognition opportunities, and lots of cool CHAMP
t-shirts, hats and clipboards for players and coaches.
