The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has selected Liam Frawley, CMAA, athletic director at Tappan Zee High School in Orangeburg, New York, as the recipient of the 2016 NFHS Coach Educator of the Year Award.
Frawley has held his current position with the South Orangetown Central School District since 2005. He is dedicated to personal and professional development, as evidenced by his service to the New York State Athletic Administrators Association, currently as its vice president and before that as chairperson for professional development. Frawley has also worked in collegiate and private schools, in addition to eight seasons as an athletic trainer in professional baseball. He has been recognized by his alma mater, Manhattan College, with a Distinguished Alumni award.
Since the fall of 2013, Frawley has worked closely with Robert Zayas, executive director of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, to lobby the New York State Education Department to develop a pathway to coach certification that was less restrictive than the previous 120-hour classroom instruction (over a five-year period) requirement to receive a profession coaching license.
“Liam was instrumental in helping to revolutionize New York’s coaching certification program, which will encourage more coaches to become certified,” Zayas said. “We are excited to have the opportunity to offer the NFHS coaching courses in an effort to benefit the students of New York State.”
Frawley also worked with Dan Schuster, NFHS Director of Coach Education, to create the courses and utilize the NFHS online education website to meet the needs of the New York State Education Department curriculum. On July 1, 2015, this option was approved, opening a new path for more coaches to become certified in New York.
