“I am truly honored and thankful to receive this award,” Anderson said. “I just try to show up every day at work and give the very best that I can. There are so many benefits that kids get through participation and I want our kids and coaches to have every opportunity possible for them to be successful not only right now but when they graduate and leave our programs.”
