Brett Alexander "Moose" Stephens (born 20 February 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer in the VFL/AFL and currently a performance coach for world class athletes, working with pro tennis players golfers and surfers.
Football career
Stephens was a key position player originally from Croydon, and had stints at places including Essendon and North Hobart and Sydney, before recruited from East Perth Football Club to the VFL's Fitzroy Football Club.[2]
Coach David Parkin gave the mature-age recruit Stephens his debut in 1987 at the age of 26, and he rewarded him with consistent performances. In Fitzroy's best and fairest, he finished 2nd on two occasions. He retired in 1993 with 133 games and 54 goals in a solid career. He represented Australai in International rules against Ireland and captained Victoria against Queensland in State of Origin.[2]
Post-football career
After his retirement, Stephens became a sports coach in both the mental and physical training sectors, fitness coaching Pete Sampras, Mark Philippoussis and his eventual wife, Zimbabwean tennis player Cara Black.[3][4]
