Alexandra Klein

Alex joined the Canadian Bobsleigh Program after attending university in Rhode Island and playing professional basketball in Europe. Alex’s career took a turn when she took on the challenge to re-train her body in a very different way and tackle one of the fastest sports on ice. She attended the National Testing Camp in the fall of 2022 and is now chasing her new performance goals on the World Cup circuit as a brakewoman. 

Outside of training for bobsleigh, Alex is Co-Founder of Eh Team Apparel, a clothing apparel company directly supporting Canadian athletes and making a commitment to Canada’s sporting future. Alex is also Founder of AK Coaching, originally launched as fitness and macro coaching, eventually transforming into online business coaching for high performers and achievers. For the time between her basketball career and bobsleigh career, Alex worked in sales.
