USOPC Coach of the Year

The USOPC Coach of the Year awards are given annually by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee to the top coaches in Olympic and Paralympic sports. One award is given in each of five categories:

  • National Coach
  • Developmental Coach
  • Paralympic Coach
  • Volunteer Coach
  • Doc Councilman Science Award

Nominees for the awards are selected by the national governing bodies for Olympic, Paralympic, and Pan American Games sports and their affiliated sports organizations. Members of the media vote for the top five nominees in each category. Category winners are then selected by a special USOPC panel.
