BMC Area Youth Coordinator for South Wales Paul Walters has been put forward for the Sports Council for Wales 2009 Coach of the Year Award.
If he wins Paul will receive the coveted title of the Sports Council for Wales Coach of the Year.
Paul has been coaching for just four years but he is already Head Coach of the Welsh Junior Climbing Team, the Boulders Climbing Team in Cardiff and the Boulders Climbing Academy.
Paul's ability to encourage, enthuse, coach and mentor has resulted in good results in climbing competitions. His commitment and hard work has led to youngsters successfully qualifying in regional rounds of the BMC Youth Climbing Series and reaching the Welsh final - some gained places in the British final in London. Considering the youngsters had been climbing for less than a year this is a tremendous achievement.
Paul has continued to grow the group of enthused youngsters and subsequently from his efforts a team member has been placed as a reserve on the British Youth Team.
To Paul, the BMC says a great big thanks for all he does for the BMC and the young people in his Area and wishes him every success with the award. This is a tremendous accolade for Paul and very well deserved.
