Meet the Coaches
Lauren Dalrymple
Lauren has been committed to the sport of track and field since the age of 12. A participant as an athlete in the National Legion Age Class National Championships, Lauren became a coach for her high school in Bedford after graduation, coaching "her girls" to a provincial medal. She continued her coaching career next by becoming a staff coach for Team Nova Scotia in 2007 and again "her girls" reached the top step of the podium with a national gold medal in the relay.

Currently pursuing her NCCP Competition Development certification in Sprints, she brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and education to the next generation of athletes. To contact Lauren send an email to: sprints@yhztrack.ca

Andy Canning
Andy has been involved in the organization of sport and in the participation of sports all his adult life. A veteran marathoner, steeplechaser, cyclist and dad, Andy has a special interest in the formative years when sport is first introduced to kids. He works with the age group called "tweens" between the ages of 7-12. This small and mighty group has shown growth over the past few years and Andy inspires the kids to have fun and learn how to enjoy all aspects of the sport of track and field. Andy is trained as an NCCP Run Jump Throw coach. To contact Andy send an email to: runjumpthrow@yhztrack.ca

Steve Morley
As for me, I started coaching before I left high school. I remember working with high school shot putters and high jumpers and trying very hard to learn everything I could about my passion, middle distance and distance running. I took my first coaching course at Acadia, which back then in 1987 was called Level 1 Theory. I was hooked. I had been studying all the pre-internet material I could and perfecting my craft as an age class road racer myself locally, I was named to my first provincial team as an athlete in 1996 and travelled to BC for the National 10k Championships, to finish second last, but with a lifetime Personal Best.

I have spent much of the last 15 years studying, completing the NCI Level 4 Distance certification in 2009, and trained as a Competitive Development Sprints Coach and Run Jump Throw Coach.

As much as I have learned in the classroom I think I have learned more from competing myself and I've learned the most from my athletes.

Where did the name come from? Why not just be Brand X?
