It also has been recognized.
Adams, who has been central to a transformation at Minneapolis North as the school s head football coach (and previously its school resource officer), has been named the Positive Coaching Alliance s National Coach of the Year.
The organization made the announcement public Friday, after Adams was chosen by a committee that picked the Coach of the Year out of 25 national recipients of the Double-Goal Coach® award presented by TeamSnap. More than 600 nominations were submitted to honor coaches who strive to win while also pursuing the more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports.
Adams selection includes the $10,000 Taube Family Prize, with $2,500 going to Adams and $7,500 tabbed for the Minneapolis North Community High School football program. Adams, the other national Double-Goal Coach® winners and 75 regional winners were recognized Sunday during the PCA s first virtual National Youth Sports Awards and Benefit.
