Coach/Athletic Therapist
Justine has been involved in field hockey since she was 10 years old, as an athlete, organizer, athletic therapist, official, and is now getting into the coaching realm! She is beginning her coaching journey and is eager to learn from A&C’s coaches and athletes. She is no stranger to working with high-performance athletes, as she is also a certified athletic therapist, working as the head athletic therapist for Field Hockey Ontario, working with Field Hockey Canada’s NextGen Women’s program and Indoor Men’s & Women’s programs. She is NCCP Competition-Introduction trained and is looking to complete her Comp-Intro certification. She is currently working on her NCCP Competition-Development modules and is studying to obtain her Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist designation. Justine brings a wealth of knowledge from her sports medicine, biomechanics, and exercise science background in addition to her hockey knowledge, and has a passion for continued learning and growth. She is excited to share her love for the game with A&C’s athletes!
