Congratulations to Grassfield Head Coach on being named the NWCA USMC “Battles Won” Coach of the Year!
This marks Coach Shuler’s second year in a row receiving the honor, making him the only coach in Virginia history to be named NWCA Coach of the Year in back-to-back years. He is also the only active two-time recipient of the award. This recognition comes on the heels of yesterday’s announcement that Grassfield’s assistant coaching staff received the same honor.
“This honor couldn’t have gone to a more deserving leader. I have seen firsthand the standard you set every single day — not just in competition, but in preparation, discipline, and the way you develop these athletes as people. What stands out most is your consistency and the culture you’ve built; the success of this program is no accident.”
— Coach
“Shuler is a master at the art of building culture. Everybody that steps into the program immediately gets hooked and understands why we have a special program.”
— Coach
A historic honor for a historic leader. Congratulations, Coach Shuler!
