Kristaps Petrovs joined the Dinos program full-time in 2016-17.
Hailing from Latvia originally, but having been a permanent resident of Canada since 2013, he returns to Canada from a year spent in Cardiff, Wales where he obtained his Msc. in Strength & Conditioning at Cardiff Metropolitan University, and coached the Cardiff Met. Archers Men’s & Junior Academy basketball program.
His wealth of experience will strengthen not only the technical and tactical elements of coaching, but also provide a strong segway from the Strength and Conditioning leadership Rich Hesketh offers the Dinos WBB program on a daily basis. Kristaps is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach & Personal Trainer and has worked with Volleyball Canada, Olympic Wrestling Canada and recently worked with the professional welsh rugby club, the Swansea Ospreys.
His Phys. Ed, coaching and strength & conditioning education and experience has afforded him opportunities with the Latvian U16 National basketball program for boys and more recently as the Head Coach of the Wales National Senior Men’s program at the 2016 European Championships.
