This year, the CMI Toyota team are very proud to have sponsored “Coach of the Year Award”. The top coaches across South Australia who were recognised as the finalists were Peter Bishop, of SA Aquatic; Adam Didyk, of Athletics South Australia; and Jason Lane, of Rowing South Australia.

A big congratulations to the award winner, Peter Bishop, who coached as part of the Australian Olympic Team at Tokyo 2021, and helped swimmers Madi Wilson and Kyle Chalmers with their Olympic Team Qualification! Peter has a long history of Olympic, Commonwealth Games and Paralympic Games success. His work has been instrumental in building and developing the South Australian Sports Institute and supporting the Marion Swim Club programs. His work to get the best out of his staff, swimmers and environments is second to none. This has been seen in his sustained success from Swimmers like Matt Cowdrey OAM, through to the current crop of swimmers.

CMI Toyota would like to congratulate all finalists on their remarkable efforts over the past year under extraordinary circumstances. We wish all participants and Sport SA another amazing year, and we look forward to helping celebrate this important event and Sport SA members again.
