London 2012 - Olympic & Paralympic coaches
Coaches are mentors, motivators, and leaders, and most of all, they inspire our athletes. It’s a great responsibility, and these 17 Paralympic coaches and 93 Olympic coaches embrace it with passion and dedication. They have worked hard for many years to be at the top of their game, and to help their athletes reach their goals and obtain a spot at these memorable Games.
The Coaching Association of Canada wishes the best of luck to all of these great Canadian coaches that will be coaching in London for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We would also like to extend a big “thank you” to all of the coaches that have helped to shape our athletes into the competitors and people they are today throughout their careers.
