You could nominate a professional coach or someone who gives up their free time to coach any sporting activity to any age of person or group of people both professional or recreational.

The person does not just have to be part of the sport itself, they could be someone who helps with the DIY in the club house or the volunteer who washes the kit or prepares the drinks, organises the activities or takes care of the fund raising and the activity takes place in the South Lakes area.
