Chalmers moved to Brandon from Kitchener, Ont. where he was coaching with the Milton Youth Soccer Club. He re-located to the Wheat City to take over coaching duties for the Bobcats and will also be serving the Westman Regional Soccer Association (WRSA) as the organization's Technical Director.
Â
He holds a Canada Soccer Pre-B License and has worked in player management and development, providing a diverse skill set in all aspects of the game.
Â
On the pitch, Chalmers prefers a possession-based style of game that is based on awareness while attacking and attack defending while playing without the ball.
Â
Outside of competition, Chalmers is focused on the academic aspects of being a student-athlete, ensuring that his players will be successful thanks to a strong academic foundation and peer support for each other.

"It's about life after football. Playing the game at a high level is a short window, and as much as you can create a platform for yourself, you need to be able to use that platform after you're done. To me, that 'student' aspect is key."
