Dr. Vicki Harber Biography
Vicki is Professor Emeritus at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) from the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport & Recreation. She is a member of the Canada’s Sport for Life team and is helping to advance physical literacy and long-term athlete development across Canada. In 2011 and 2012, Vicki was honoured by CAAWS (Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity) as one of the Most Influential Women in Sport and Physical Activity. Her combined experiences from 2 Olympic teams (1980 and 1984 Canadian Rowing), researching the female athlete as an academic, coaching a highly-skilled girls’ soccer team and being a mother of 2 children have fuelled her passion to work with those who can make a difference in the physical activity sector and world of high performance sport, particularly for girls and women.
