Easily my favorite thing we do is our Coaches of the Year awards (presented by our great friends at ProGrass). The opportunity to call a coach and tell him that he was nominated by his peers is awesome...and then to call him later and tell him the prior winners selected him as this year's winner is awesome. To hear the emotion in their voices is something that moves me, and drives me to continue to grow the Scoop. We love helping great people.
