Lothian Wolves Powerchair Football team head coach Steven Miller has enjoyed a successful couple of months both on and off the pitch.
The Edinburgh based coach was named as the Scottish Powerchair Football Association (SPFA) Volunteer of the year at the inaugural awards ceremony held in June before being invited to become assistant coach with the Scotland National squad. The SPFA highlighted that ‘Steven has worked tirelessly to build the relatively new club in the Edinburgh area, dedicating much of his own time to the sport. He has brought together a collection of athletes who display determination, skill and respect in all that they do’.
This topped off a remarkable second season for the head coach, who led Lothian Wolves to the Championship title for the second year running as well as guiding them to a 3rd place finish in this season’s Scottish Cup competition. These achievements are even more remarkable given that Lothian Wolves have only been established and competing for just over two years. Lothian Wolves will now make the step into the Premiership for the coming season and test themselves against some of the more established and long running sides across Scotland.
Miller has been involved with the club since its inception in 2016 when the sessions were established by local branch, 
Lothian Disability Sport and he remains very much at the centre of the development in the Edinburgh and surrounding areas.
Miller commented on his achievements, ‘I’m delighted and extremely grateful for the opportunity and hope that I can make a positive contribution to the National team’.
Powerchair football continues to go from strength to strength across Scotland and the sport now boasts many opportunities across the country to become involved.
