Amy de Bree
I am a High School Teacher, Hockey Coach, Business Owner, Writer, and Public Speaker. I hold a Master of Education Degree in Coaching Studies from the University of British Columbia. Through that degree I created Athletetransitions.ca which is a website filled with resources and information to help athletes prepare for and navigate the transition into post-sport life. In 2020, I also established the Women in Sport Speaker Series which is a virtual platform focused on elevating the voices of women working in sport. In 2023 I was awarded the Bobbie Steen Legacy Foundation Award for my work to advance gender equity in sport.
With my Doctoral research I plan to look at coaching and organizational practices to prevent abuse in sport. My end goal is to create sporting environments that focus on athlete wellness rather than utilizing athletes as commodities.
