Petroleum Directory: Unique Machine GM Hanley named coach of the year

In March, the US Youth Soccer Adidas Coach of the Year program recognized Pat Hanley of Anchorage, Alaska, as its candidate for Region IV.

Hanley is general manager of Unique Machine LLC, or UML.

The program is designed to recognize top coaches throughout the United States in girls and boys programs at the state, regional and national levels.

“I’m both honored and humbled by this award,” said Hanley, president of Northern Lights Soccer Club and head coach for the 95 girls teams. “Soccer is the fastest growing sport in Alaska and there are many great coaches throughout the state that are deserving of this honor. I share this honor with my players, parents, club, and coaches that touched the lives of the kids I coached over this past year. Without their support and inspiration, this would not have been possible. I am truly blessed to coach a group of girls that play with so much passion and heart and who exhibit tremendous character on and off the field.”

In its press release, US Youth Soccer and Adidas said it was proud to “highlight these Coaches of the Year for their time and efforts in contributing to America’s youth through the great game of soccer. By promoting teamwork, discipline, fitness and fair play these coaches are making a difference.”
