Each year at our Annual Conference, we honour the dedication, talent and impact of strength and conditioning professionals across the UK. For 2025, we're excited to introduce a significant change: self-nominations are now welcomed. This initiative aims to empower coaches to confidently share their achievements and contributions to the field.
"At the UKSCA, we've made a fundamental change to our Annual Awards process: individuals can now self-nominate, removing the previous requirement for a peer nomination."
