National Coaches Week, September 18-26, 2021, celebrates the positive impact coaches have on athletes, participants, and communities across Canada. This week is an opportunity to recognize coaches for the integral role they play by saying #ThanksCoach.
With virtual activities held across the country to celebrate coaching, National Coaches Week provides coaches with the recognition they deserve for the time they devote to ensuring Canadians live an active, healthy lifestyle.
Cycling BC would like to take this opportunity to say #THANKSCOACH to all the coaches in our community. A special thank you goes out to our High Performance and Development Program coaches for their commitment to keeping our athletes safe, engaged and supported throughout all the changes and chaos brought on by the pandemic. Their unwavering dedication to our sport and our athletes has been critical to our success. We are lucky to have you.
Cycling BC is also proud to introduce the most recent coaches who have achieved their NCCP certification this past summer 2021.
