Anyone involved with youth athletics, past or present, knows the importance of a good coach. Some coaches go above and beyond to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those they mentor.
With that in mind, I recently honored Newburgh resident and youth athletics coach Mike Carroll with the Circle of Corydon Award. Mike, who serves as the chief financial officer for Heritage Federal Credit Union, spends most of his free time mentoring youth athletes in girls’ basketball and softball. |

Mike exemplifies the spirit of the Circle of Corydon Award, not only teaching athletes the fundamentals of sports, but also instilling values of teamwork, discipline and perseverance.
The Circle of Corydon Award was established by the governor in 2017 to recognize Hoosiers who have made remarkable contributions to the betterment of Indiana and its people, demonstrating through life and service qualities exemplified by the state’s greatest citizens. This is the only award issued and signed jointly by members of both the executive and legislative branches. This award is an extension of my thanks to Mike for being a role model, leader and outstanding member of this community. Through his efforts on and off the field, he has helped shape the future of many young athletes. |
