November 2007 Name: Leif Taggart Town: Middlesborough, Cleveland.  Style:  Scorpio Freestyle Kickboxing  Coach: Gary Jowers
Nominated by: Sharon Taggart  reason: I have thought hard about nominating Leif as I felt people may be think I am bias due to Leif being my son. I have filled in this form so many times without submitting for that simple reason but now I feel that showing Leif what he has done and does everyday is noted.  Leif has so much commitment and dedication to every martial art he is a part of that he very rarely has time for anything else, but that is how he likes it. The part he likes best is competing and is never far away from a competition. loll!.  Leif loves instructing and works hard on lesson plans etc. He loves to stand behind someone from either of his clubs and them do well not just win but do well and show good respect and attitude as that is something Leif values most. We have often had comments on how proud we must be of Leif that I decided to show how we are by finally filling in and submitting the form.  
Hope you are in agreement. Sharon Taggart.   
Master Deadly:- I am definitely in agreement, Leif is a great ambassador for our sport and well deserves this award.
