Title: Head Coach
Email: augxcr@ualberta.ca

Hello and welcome! My name is Laura Brown and I am thrilled to be coaching the Augustana cross country and track team. My personal experience comes from competing in the respective sports during high school. After attending the NAIT personal fitness trainer diploma, my career involved coaching and mentoring clientele, ranging from all ages, abilities and backgrounds. During 2019, I stepped into Strathcona County's recreation, parks and culture department, kickstarting my career within the public sector. I have filled various roles within the County, as a personal and team trainer, assistant to group fitness, group instructor, and more recently an outdoor instructor with the wilderness centre. When I can, I volunteer my time to help coach my own children in their activities. Among my NAIT diploma, I hold coaching certifications through NCCP, a trail running/hiking leader with Outdoor Council of Canada, CANSI cross country Level 1, a waterfront instructor with Paddle Canada and High Five training in healthy childhood development. It is my privilege to have this opportunity to foster the growth of athletes and students with their athletic journey, and to help build resilience in their personal and academic path.
