Andre Rosen – Associate Strength & Conditioning Coach
MKin, CSCS
Andre finished his undergraduate degree at UBC in 2023 with a major in Kinesiology and a minor in Neurobiology, and completed his Masters of Kinesiology from UBC in 2025. As a lifelong athlete, and current volleyball player competing in the semi-professional Vancouver Super League, sports and training have always been a central piece of Andre’s life — this passion played a large part in guiding his decision work with other athletes in pursuit of achieving their goals.
Outside of S&C and high performance sport, Andre also has experience in the rehabilitation field, having worked as a Kinesiologist and Physiotherapist’s assistant during his schooling. Having dealt with multiple injuries of his own as well, Andre views training and S&C both as a means to improve high-level athletic performance, but also to keep athletes healthy and feeling confident in their movements.
