Honoring Top Assistant Coaches Since 1996 OUR MISSION RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE The was created in 1996 to honor my grandfather, Coach . I am so proud of the award and what it has accomplished over the past twenty-five years. This award has touched the lives of so many coaches and their families, and has created a vast network of friends and colleagues through my grandfather’s legacy. Though he passed away in 2017, my grandfather’s mission carries on not just through this award, but also through the Broyles Foundation. This organization provides game plans for another kind of ‘assistant coach:’ Alzheimer’s caregivers in crisis. My grandfather built his career and his family around the pillars of teamwork, preparation, and selflessness. As caretakers of his legacy, my mother and I strive every day to uphold these values and expand upon his mission. My granfather’s values influence everything we do: just like he would have done, we are eagerly preparing for the next twenty-five years of recognizing excellence. Sincerely, Molly Arnold Broyles Award Director Coach Broyles’ Granddaughter COACH BROYLES V. TULSA, 1964

LOOKING BACK 25 YEARS - A LASTING LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE 25 years ago, the Broyles Award embarked on a journey not just honoring assistant coaches, but also forging new and lasting bonds between coaches of all ages and experiences. A look back at events over the past two decades illuminates this: seasoned coaches celebrated alongside first- and second-year coaches, sharing the belief that coaching excellence is itself a team sport. From those of us at the Broyles Award, we hope that this legacy - a legacy of community - can carry our award through 25 more years of celebrating excellence.

Coach and Barbara Broyles with the Broyles Award Frank Broyles with the 2017 Broyles Award finalists, including winner trophy at the 1996 finalist reception Brent Venables of Clemson LOOKING AHEAD “When my mom, Barbara Day Broyles, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in 2001, we found ourselves in the most difficult game of our lives. Even though we couldn’t defeat this opponent, we were going to find a way to win. My sister Linda and I became her primary caregivers for four years. I moved my entire family in with my mom and dad because caregiving is a family crisis. When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia-related illness, it affects everyone. We realized how little we knew about how to care for someone day in and day out. Dad wanted us to write down everything that worked for us to ensure other families would have the game plan we wished we had.”

Betsy Broyles Arnold, CEO

Continuing the Legacy of Coach Broyles

After supporting his wife Barbara through Alzheimer’s Dementia, Coach Broyles decided that no one should have to go through that process alone. His lasting legacy was the establishment of the Broyles Foundation, a charity dedicated to providing support at no cost to dementia caregivers and their families.

Based on the experience of caring for Barbara, “Coach Broyles’ Playbook for Alzheimer’s Caregivers” and “Tips & Strategies Guide” were developed. Over 1 million books, in 11 languages, have been distributed at no cost to caregivers in crisis. The success of the Playbook led to the creation Frank & Barbara Broyles Legacy Foundation in 2006, and continue to define our game plan: caring for the caregiver.

Proceeds from the Broyles Award continue the mission of the Broyles Foundation to support caregivers in crisis at no cost. www.BroylesFoundation.org | (479) 313-5079 25TH ANNUAL
