 Jay Breeden, President of CD2 Learning, the partner platform for US Youth Futsal said, “We nominated Brian Catrine because his passion and vision for growing the sport, especially during the pandemic, was contagious. Using player and coaching professionals, this online approach will provide such continuity for the game. It was exciting to see that the judges’ comments reflected their understanding of this, example - “Great for an organization to put together training so that coaches can learn Futsal. This way everyone has the same training and understanding.”

 More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.

 “The American economy continues to show its resilience, and as we’re poised on the beginning of what should be a phenomenal period of growth, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of a wide range of organizations and people over the past 18 months,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher.  “This year’s Stevie-winning nominations in The American Business Awards are testament to the ingenuity, the commitment, the passion, the adaptability, and the creativity of the American people.  We look forward to celebrating this year’s winners during our virtual ceremony on June 30.”
