Gabriel Garcia, the seasoned veteran of wheelchair rugby, has added another accolade to his illustrious career as he was named the 23/24 Coach of the Year by the United States Wheelchair Rugby Association. With a remarkable 15-year history as a player in the sport, Garcia brought his wealth of experience to the sidelines in his inaugural year as head coach of the Texas Stampede. Despite it being his first year in charge, Garcia led the Stampede to an extraordinary season, culminating in the national championship game where they contended for the prestigious title.

Reflecting on his unexpected achievement, Garcia remarked, "I was completely surprised and honored by Coach of the Year honors. It is not something I ever expected or even thought I deserve with the amount of talented coaches throughout the league. I am humbled to receive the honor." Garcia's humility and dedication have not only propelled him to success on the court but have now established him as a respected leader in the coaching realm. Congratulations Coach.
