  Todd Lewis - Coach of the Year Candidate (2026)

  Apr 1, 202625 min

  Todd Lewis Volleyball – MAVS What was shared about Coach Lewis: Todd Lewis embodies the very essence of what Community for Coaches celebrates — he uses the game of volleyball not merely to teach sport, but to transform lives and build character in young people. Todd consistently creates an environment where players feel seen and capable of growth. Rather than focusing solely on wins and losses, he emphasizes confidence, resilience, and self-belief as cornerstones of athletic and personal success. He encourages his athletes to take risks, learn from setbacks, and celebrate effort — reinforcing that confidence is formed through courage and commitment. Under his guidance, players who once doubted themselves are now approaching challenges with a strong, positive mindset that extends far beyond the volleyball court. But Todd’s impact goes deeper: he cultivates leadership within his players. By giving them ownership of roles, responsibilities, and decision-making during games and practices, he teaches them how to lead with integrity, empathy, and accountability. He gives his captains permission to call a timeout in practice if the team has lost focus or needs a pep talk, and uses that time to reset. These young athletes learn what it means to encourage teammates, communicate with purpose, and make thoughtful choices under pressure — skills that prepare them for leadership in classrooms, families, their communities and future careers.

  Jeff Diskin - Coach of the Year (2026)

  Apr 1, 202625 min

  Jeff Diskin Baseball – Pembroke Hill School What was shared about Coach Diskin: Jeff has served as the assistant athletic director and MS English teacher during his time at Pembroke Hill. As an administrator he modeled servant leadership, often 1-step ahead of his coaches who needed things done for their programs to run smoothly. He was an encourager and supporter when things were both up and down. I appreciated his bluntness as well, you always knew where you stood with Coach Diskin. As a teacher, all these years later, my own daughter has fond memories of class with Coach Diskin who took the time to teach his students authentically. Currently, as a co-head coach in the Raider Athletic Program he continues to be a resource for others, often young coaches who are finding their way. He’s a coach, teacher, and administrator of the highest caliber.

  Margo Todd - Rising Star Award Winner (2026)

  Apr 1, 202619 min

  Margo Todd – 2026 Rising Star Award Recipient Sports Performance, Ignite What was shared about Coach Todd: Margo just finished her first year coaching at Ignite. WOW! She was incredible! She had a true knack for winning the hearts of young kids… in particular, Margo really excelled in helping kids who actually didn’t want to attend our program AND kids who were a little bit unmotivated. Margo developed strong relationships with them which later led to them really “buying into” the training process. As an athlete herself, Margo finished high school as one of the strongest females in the state of Kansas and is now throwing (shotput, discus, etc.) for Wichita State… she inspires young girls to train hard and achieve their dreams! Our gym and our camp are incredibly blessed to have her on staff!
