Celebrating Our Coaches and All They Do
National Coaches Week is a time to celebrate the positive impact coaches have on athletes and communities across Canada. This annual national campaign is an opportunity for thousands of Canadians recognize coaches for the integral role they play, for their time, effort, and generosity, and to take time to say #ThanksCoach.
How You Can Take Part
-
Say #ThanksCoach on social media: Follow National Coaches Week on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using #CoachesWeek and #ThanksCoach. You can search in the Instagram for the "National Coaches Week' GIF, available in the platform's library, to celebrate this week.
- In addition to using the #ThanksCoach hashtag online during National Coaches Week, we encourage all athletes, participants, parents and friends to say 'Thanks, Coach!’ in real life too – all year round!
