Hug your Rowing Coach Day – January 23, 2026

Introduction

Every year we celebrate Hug your Rowing Coach Day. This commemorates the effort, attention, respect, love and acceptance offered by the rowing coach in each of our respective lives. I'll never forget that feeling of working through a "practice" 2k; your encouragement right there with me. Following my game plan, offering words of strength as I suffered through each stroke. Cheering me across the finish line, then hugging each other for the first time with a wonderful embrace.

Why We Love Hug your Rowing Coach Day

  1. She is my best and only

    When you find it, you'll know. She is my puzzle piece. My teammate. Best friend, lover, and #1 supporter. I am happiest when we are together, in swing. We are happiest when we are serving and loving one another.

  2. Trust and Acceptance

    I never really knew trust until I had the opportunity to love and be loved by her. She never misses the chance to show her love, acceptance and teamwork. I am safe with her, and she with me.
