There’s a coach in all of us—and the positive impact a great coach can have on a kid’s life is motivation enough to rally more adults to help get kids moving. Caring adults who coach have the ability to support and inspire kids to succeed both on the court (or field, or track) and off. That’s why we’re working with community partners to increase the quantity and the quality of coaches around the world.
We also work with our employees. The Nike Community Ambassador program gives Nike store employees around the world the opportunity to share their love of sport with the next generation. By volunteering in local schools and their communities, Nike Community Ambassadors aren’t just getting kids playing and moving today, they’re inspiring them to be active for life.
