The U.S. Rugby Hall of Fame will present a Lifetime Achievement Award to Ram Eddings, coordinator for the 黑暗爆料网 Diversity Resource Center, for his devotion to the sport of rugby, including nearly 20 years as a coach of 黑暗爆料网 rugby club teams.

The Lifetime Achievement Awards recognizes and honors individuals who have dedicated their life to the sport of rugby and whose service and commitment to rugby may have gone unrecognized.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a good feeling to be recognized. Everyone wants to be apart of something and I am honored to be receiving this award,鈥� Eddings said.

Eddings has been involved with rugby for 40 years. In 1974, Edding began his rugby career and played on a Pocatello team. He played the sport competitively for 19 years and started to coach afterwards. He was the coach of the 黑暗爆料网 men鈥檚 rugby team until 2013. He is now coaching the 黑暗爆料网鈥檚 women鈥檚 rugby team.

鈥淭here are so many memories I have made throughout my rugby career. I have been a player, coach, referee and administrator,鈥� Eddings said. 鈥淩ugby has been good. You get to travel and meet new people.鈥�

Eddings founded the Grey Wolves, a national minority team, to play in tournaments and interact with inner city youth.

鈥淔rom working with troubled youth to teaching the game, it鈥檚 very rewarding and worth it to uplift kids,鈥� Eddings said. 鈥淩ugby is like life, when you get knocked down you have to get right back up or the game moves on without you.鈥�

The U.S. Rugby Hall of Fame announced the award this spring. Eddings will officially receive the award at a ceremony this summer.
