Wheelchair Basketball Coach Michael Broughton Named Sepember 2010 Ontario Coach-of-the-Month

Michael Broughton is a National level coach for Canada’s Wheelchair Basketball teams and has been named Head Coach for the U25 Women’s National Team for the 2011 World Championships.  He started playing wheelchair basketball at a young age, as a way to play with his friends who had physical disabilities.  He gained a passion for the sport the more he played it.  After his career as an athlete ended, he started coaching and has never looked back.

When asked about making a difference in people’s lives, Michael recalled meeting athletes after getting out of rehabilitation from life changing events.  He stated that “Most times these athletes have a difficult time getting use to the new body, way of life and then bringing sport on top of all this can be a struggle. Seeing an athlete develop the confidence in sport and seeing this relay into the rest of their lives. Is truly amazing and being a part of that is something really amazing!”
