B.A. Kinesiology (UVic)
Ms. Scheck was raised in Northern BC where she developed a keen interest in playing a variety of summer and winter sports. Her main interests were volleyball, softball, basketball, and curling. It did not take long for Ms. Scheck to realize that volleyball was going to be a sport she continued playing throughout her life. After high school, she went on to play for the College of New Caledonia—leading the team to a qualifying spot at the Provincial Championships. Ms. Scheck was named to the Inter-Collegiate All-Canadian Team. The University of Victoria was the next stop for Ms. Scheck where she continued her studies and her volleyball career. She knew her interest in sports would be a stepping stone for her future interest in how the human body moves. Ms. Scheck graduated with a degree in kinesiology from UVic while playing on the Women’s Varsity Volleyball Team. Ms. Scheck was a middle blocker at UVic—training under her mentor, Ms. Jill Fougner. After graduation, Ms. Scheck went on to continue her mentorship as an assistant coach to Ms. Fougner. Tanya Scheck holds her Level II National Coaching certification in volleyball and joined the Brentwood community in 2003. Ms. Scheck currently coaches volleyball, girls’ weight training, the senior-level strength and conditioning program, as well as the rehabilitation program. Ms. Scheck and her family reside in the Mill Bay area.
Shane Thompson
Assistant Houseparent (Rogers House); Head of Rugby; Grade 8 P.E.
B.A. (Bishop's)
Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Shane Thompson grew up in a very athletic family, developing an early and incurable passion for sports. Focusing on university-level basketball, football, and rugby, he attended Bishop’s University and completed a B.A. in geography and economics—in between practices. Shortly afterward, he moved to Victoria, BC, played rugby for the Canadian National Team, and toured the world several times over. In 2005, Mr. Thompson transitioned into coaching for Rugby Canada and completed his Master of Education at the University of Victoria. When not coaching rugby or strength and conditioning at Brentwood, he works as a professional coach and manager for the BC Rugby Elite Youth 7s Program and also coaches the Canada Maple Leafs 7s Team. Mr. Thompson’s goal is to strengthen Brentwood’s Rugby Program and to cultivate elite players who may one day realize their Olympic dream. He is an outdoor aficionado, a keen traveller, and a surprisingly talented hip-hop and swing dancer.
Strength & Conditioning
Brentwood Strength & Conditioning (S&C) is a voluntary training opportunity that students typically take during their free arts blocks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons in addition to their main sport for each term. The program takes full advantage of the outstanding facilities in the Eldon and Anne Foote Athletic Centre.
Our Strength & Conditioning coaches develop life-long athletes by providing a strong foundation of physical literacy through strength and movement. We aim to educate about the benefits of training to promote confidence, injury prevention, and to strive towards peak performance. We ensure safe techniques are taught first, then advance students through our S&C offerings based on their skill level and goals. Brentwood offers programs for all levels, from novice to elite athlete—no one is left behind. Sport-specific programming based on individual and team goals will be taken into consideration, as well as when an athlete should peak for their competitive season. Each student is different and everyone cannot fit into the same ‘box’, so program adjustments are made as required to enable each student to reach their full potential.
