Sport NB honours recipients of the 2011 Pitney Bowes Sport Awards
Fredericton (Saturday, November 26th) – The winners of the Pitney Bowes Sport Awards were unveiled by Sport NB Saturday night. Among them, a Judo team that dominated the mat at Canada Games, a coach who has seen her athletes shatter records, and a seventeen-year-old wrestler who took Nationals by storm. There are stories of leaving behind loved ones, Olympic Dreams and proud parents who have watched their children grow to become among the very best in their chosen sport.
Over 200 members of the New Brunswick sport community gathered at the Crowne Plaza Hotel to see Sport NB present the 18th annual Pitney Bowes Sport Awards. The prestigious sport recognition event recognized the achievements of the top athletes, coaches, officials, sponsors, administrators and volunteers from across the province.
"These individuals – many of them still very young – represent the best of the best, not only provincially but on a national and international scale. Every single nominee sets a great example for not only the sporting community, but the province as a whole," said Sport NB Executive Director Darcy McKillop.
McKillop adds, "Sport NB is very fortunate to have a title sponsor like Pitney Bowes so we can continue to recognize these great New Brunswickers for all of their achievements."
For the list of winners please see attachment.

Sport NB rend hommage aux lauréats des Prix sportifs Pitney Bowes 2011
Fredericton (le samedi 26 novembre) – Sport NB a dévoilé le nom des récipiendaires des Prix sportifs Pitney Bowes samedi soir. Figurent parmi eux une équipe de judo qui a dominé le tapis aux Jeux du Canada, une entraîneure dont les athlètes ont fracassé des records et un jeune lutteur de 17 ans qui a pris d'assaut les championnats nationaux. On a entendu des histoires de jeunes qui ont quitté leur famille, d'athlètes en quête de leur rêve olympique et de fiers parents qui ont vu leur enfant grandir pour se hisser parmi l'élite de son sport choisi.
Quelque 200 membres de la communauté sportive du Nouveau-Brunswick se sont rassemblés à l'hôtel Crowne Plaza pour voir Sport NB présenter les Prix sportifs Pitney Bowes 2011. Ce prestigieux gala de remise de prix reconnaît les exploits des meilleurs athlètes, entraîneurs, officiels, commanditaires, administrateurs et bénévoles de la province.
« Ces personnes – dont beaucoup sont encore très jeunes – représentent la crème de la crème, non seulement au niveau provincial, mais aussi sur la scène nationale et internationale. Chacun des candidats donne l'exemple tant pour la communauté sportive que pour l'ensemble de la province », affirme le directeur général de Sport NB, Darcy McKillop.
« Sport NB est très chanceux d'avoir un commanditaire en titre comme Pitney Bowes grâce auquel il peut continuer de reconnaître ces excellents ambassadeurs du Nouveau-Brunswick pour tous leurs exploits », ajoute-t-il.
Pour une liste des gagnants s'il vous plaît voir l'attachement.

| November 21, 2011  Please send comments or subscription requests to news@swimmingcoach.org ===================================================================== Motivation Guy Edson, ASCA Staff and Senior Coach of a Club Team Years ago in the early days of MS Word and before the internet, I was writing an article on motivation when a squiggly red line showed up under the word "motivator." I thought the proof editor was mistaken. I checked out Webster's unabridged dictionary – the 2042 page edition – and guess what, the word "motivator" was not in the dictionary! So I went to the library and looked in the Cambridge-Oxford unabridged dictionary – the one that is 5 volumes in size – and "motivator" was not there! The word is certainly in popular use, however. If you search Google you will find 13,100,000 hits. On Amazon.com there are 561 books with the word "motivator" in the title. And now, Word doesn't underline "motivator" anymore and several online dictionaries I checked now include the word. Is it odd that we have gone from an unrecognized word to one used regularly. I wonder if it means that at one time we expected motivation to come from within, but in today's world which is filled with blame shifting, self proclaimed victims, and shying away from adversity, we now want someone else to be responsible for our motivation. And of course that "someone else" is the coach. When I first learned that motivator is not a recognized word I felt a huge weight lifted from me because I reasoned that if the word doesn't exist then I need not think of myself as a motivator! Instead I chose to think of myself as one responsible for creating the proper environment where motivation from within can occur, if the athlete is willing. What does this mean for the parent? You also are responsible for nurturing an environment where motivation can occur. What is Motivation? Very simply it means striving to meet one's needs. Where does motivation come from? It comes from internal desires and external influences. Internal desires include intangible rewards, satisfaction, and self esteem. Internal desires are often influenced by external influences such as rewards or, unfortunately, fear of reprimand. Coaches prefer motivation by internal desires because these are the most long lasting, most genuine, and most satisfying. Motivation from fear is undesirable in our swimming world. Threatening and seeking to force swimmers do things is a sure way to drive them away. What does it mean to say that "one is not motivated"? Commonly, it means that one is not a hard worker but more accurately, it usually indicates that a person has needs which are not being met in their present situation. What kinds of needs are there? Many! Here are a few... The need to achieve, to be challenged The need to learn new information, improved techniques The need to be part of a team, or group The need to be unique The need to be recognized The need to improve weaknesses (not so obvious) The need to exhibit strengths The need to be cared for The need to have fun The need for structure, discipline. The coach's role is to identify the need(s) and then provide the right environment. The parent's role? It's the same! |
