Anna Meech

• Kinesiologist 

Over the last several months Anna has been working with the head strength and conditioning coach at Dalhousie to aid in the development of the varsity athletics program. Here, she has put an immense amount of effort to ensure athletes are prescribed with exercises that will optimize their athletic ability and maintain enough strength to avoid injuries throughout their season.

Throughout her journey as an athlete, she has nurtured her passion for teaching physical fitness. Her experience training as an elite level gymnast for 12 years provided her with her closest friends, strong role models, hard work ethic, interest in nutrition and the desire to learn more about exercise. In addition to training as an athlete, for five years she has coached both recreational and competitive gymnastics. This experience has enhanced her organizational skills through the implementation of lesson plans, as well as highlighted her ability to effectively communicate with others. These experiences have inspired her to pursue a degree in Kinesiology, which has further affirmed her passion for physical health. As exercise and health has provided her with many of her greatest opportunities, it remains a goal of hers to share its rewards with others.
