ST. LOUIS — This summer, all eyes will be on Paris for the 2024 Olympics, as some of the greatest athletes in the world compete to bring home gold. Those athletes are heading to Paris thanks to skill, dedication, and the support of the people in their lives, especially a great coach or activity leader.
Throughout this summer’s Olympics, 5 On Your Side and Shriners Children's Hospital are teaming up to honor coaches who have had a positive impact on the lives of local athletes of all levels with a special segment, “Thank You Coach.”
5 On Your Side viewers are invited to nominate a coach who has gone above and beyond to help athletes both on and off the field of play. Watch Today in St. Louis on weekdays during the Paris Olympics (July 26 – August 11) as we recognize these coaches on-air.
