teacher. Itwasa game she sos

instantly fell in love with.

Her physical education &

teacher, and physics

motivated her, which she
eventually taught herself
to do on her own.

competitor, and a stronger
individual.

When Marty decided to
come to UNBC, she had a
desire to start the first
Rugby Club in Northern
British Columbia. The
women’s interest was
overwhelming, but she
came upon a= great
difficulty of finding a
coach. There are a couple
of professors, and other
individuals who are
certainly capable of
coaching the women’s
rugby team, but they
would rather coach the
boys. This didn’t stop her
from taking the matter into
her own hands. Marty
came to the conclusion of
becoming the teacher, and
at the same _ time,
becoming the student of a
sport she had learned to
love so dearly.

Today, the UNBC
Women’s Rugby Team is
one of the most successful
teams on campus. A team
where the girls are there
for the love of the game,
trying something new, and
having a great time. This
is where Marty had the
task of teaching girls who
had never played the
game; but with her hard
work, natural talent, and.
her ability to motivate
others, the results have
been astonishing. The
UNBC’s” very own
women’s rugby team has
played with teams with a
lot more experience; but
with a great teacher Marty,
has become, the team has
happened to come out on.
top every time. Today, the
UNBC Women’s Rugby
Team has an incredible 5-
0 record. This just shows,
the job Marty Rombough
has done has been nothing
but exceptional.
