Brett Gethke
Growing up in a small town in Ontario, hockey was a huge part of Brett’s life and community. After injuries cut short her competitive playing career, she redirected her passion for the game toward coaching and helping the next generation of athletes develop.
​
With a background in strength and conditioning, personal training, and nutrition coaching, Brett takes a well-rounded approach to athlete development, helping players build strength, improve performance, develop healthy habits, and reach their full potential both on and off the ice.
Driven by a desire to give back to the sport that has given her so much, Brett is passionate about helping athletes grow as players and individuals while developing the confidence, discipline, and love for the game needed to succeed at the next level.
