🏆 D. Long & Company Wants to Honor Our Local Coaches!
Behind every great athlete is a coach who gave up evenings, weekends, and countless hours to teach not only the game, but also character, teamwork, discipline, and confidence.
At D. Long & Company, we’d like to recognize a few of those special people.
Over the next week, we’re asking our community to nominate a coach who has made a lasting impact on the lives of young athletes. We’ll be selecting 3 coaches to receive a special Coach Appreciation Award from our team.
🏈 Football
⚾ Baseball
🥎 Softball
🏀 Basketball
⚽ Soccer
🏐 Volleyball
🎾 Tennis
🎣 Bass Fishing
🎽 Track & Field
🤸 Cheer
…or any youth, recreation, travel, middle school, high school, or volunteer coach who deserves to be recognized.
To nominate a coach, simply comment below with:
✅ Their name
✅ What they coach
✅ Why they deserve this recognition
We’re not looking for the coach with the most comments or the biggest following—we’re looking for the stories. Tell us about the coach who stayed late after practice, believed in a struggling player, volunteered countless hours, or made a difference that went far beyond the scoreboard.
We’ll read every nomination and select 3 coaches whose impact deserves to be celebrated.
Please share this post so we can recognize as many outstanding coaches in our community as possible.
Great coaches don’t just build winning teams… they help build great people. ❤️
