BBC Sports Personality of the Year Coach Award

The award is given to the coach who was considered to have made the most substantive contribution to British sport in that year.

Daniel Anderson, the only winner from the Southern Hemisphere, was in his native Australia at the time of the awards, so the then St. Helens captain, Paul Sculthorpe, collected it on his behalf.

The most recent award was presented in 2024 to athlete Keely Hodgkinson's coaches Jenny Meadows and Trevor Painter.
