Woodlands Coaches Honored with Prestigious Nik Stuart Foundation Award
We are thrilled to announce that two of our esteemed coaches, Milen and Stefka, have been awarded the Nik Stuart Foundation International Diploma of Honour at the prestigious 21st Annual Dinner & Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, held on September 21, 2024. This award celebrates their remarkable dedication, passion, and outstanding contributions to the world of gymnastics.
The Nik Stuart Foundation, established to honor the legacy of British gymnastics legend Nik Stuart, recognises individuals who have made significant and lasting impacts on the sport. Milen and Stefka’s commitment to excellence, mentorship, and the development of young athletes have not only enhanced the local community but have also made a profound difference in gymnastics on a broader scale.
We are incredibly proud of Milen and Stefka for this well-deserved recognition and their unwavering dedication to inspiring the next generation of gymnasts.
