BJA Most Improved Player of the Year Award for Michael
Friday, 22 October 2010
Michael Horley was presented with the Award for the Most Improved Male Player on the National Squad at the British Judo Association Annual Awards Dinner.
The National Coaches voted unanimously in favour of MIchael who attracted a great deal of notice during his international appearances in Brazil, Russia, Spain, Belarus and Germany.
Michael was also selected for the World Championships in Japan but was unlucky to be drawn in the same side of the knockout as the eventual winner in his weight and so didn't get amongst the medals. However his current IJF Ranking of 60th out of 200 is a good indication of his progress as just over 12 months ago he didn't even appear in the list.
