Laurie Fisher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laurie Fisher born in Canberra is the current Head coach of the ACT Brumbies. He began his coaching career with the Brumbies in 2000 when he was appointed Head Coach of the Brumbies Rugby Academy and later assumed control of the Brumby Runners and the Canberra Vikings. He implemented a rugby program aimed at developing the cream of local ACT rugby talent into players capable of competing for training contracts or full contracts with the Brumbies squad. Guy Shepherdson, Matt Giteau and Julian Salvi have all made successful transitions to the professional game under his guidance. In 2003, Laurie was promoted to the Brumbies Forwards Coach under David Nucifora and infinitely contributed to their success as 2004 Super 12 Champions.

Fisher's contribution and devotion to the Brumbies has seen them earn success from 2000 as semi finalists, two time finalists and two time champions.

Fisher, through his significant aptitude for coaching has gained the highest degree of respect from the Brumbies players and community, which led to his appointment as Brumbies Head Coach for 2005.

He now heads a management team of more than a dozen and in off-season to prepare for a triumphant season ahead.

Working full time in sports, Fisher's career began as a physical education and health science teacher at Telopea Park School. After a decade of teaching, he moved into a Program Manager role at the Australian Institute of Sport.
