Assistant Coach

Brett begins his first year of coaching basketball at UGF.  He has worked as an Assistant Athletic Trainer, and Strength and Conditioning coach the last two years, and this year has taken a position with the Lady Argos as an assistant coach. 

His last coaching position was as the assistant girls coach at Centerville high school in the fall of 2000 and was the head coach for Great Falls Home school boys’ team in the winter of 2000-01.  The nearly 10 year hiatus from coaching has finally opened up into a college coaching position.   His love for the game of basketball has brought him back into the coaching field with new excitement and enthusiasm for the Lady Argo program.

His main job is the Head coach for the Women’s JV program, and doubles as the Lady Argos Strength and Conditioning coach.  He has implemented a complete strength program and injury prevention program that will develop and maintain the Lady Argos throughout their season.  As a dually credentialed Athletic Trainer and Strength and Conditioning coach, Brett is a great asset to the Lady Argos program.

Brett also adds experience on the Lady Argos bench with individual player development, travel arrangements, recruiting, game preparation details, and summer camp development.
