University of British Columbia Athletics

Dick Mosher first set foot on the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia as a student in 1963, spending the next three years as a centre-forward with the Thunderbirds' soccer team before moving on to the University of Oregon and later to Michigan to pursue his PhD in human growth and motor development. He returned to UBC in 1975 as a professor in the School of Physical Education (now Kinesiology) and coached local Vancouver metro soccer teams for a decade before taking the post as head coach of the T-Bird men's squad in 1986.
 
In nine seasons with the men's team and 16 with the women's, Mosher's teams posted a combined overall record of 244-54-50, including a record of 26-4-2 at U SPORTS championships. His sides amassed 14 podium finishes (nine gold, two silver, three bronze) in 14 appearances at the national tournament. His six national titles with the UBC men are a record for a head coach in U SPORTS soccer, while his three banners with the women's squad put him in a tie for first. After retiring from coaching in 2009, he was named a co-recipient of the prestigious Jean-Marie de Koninck Coaching Excellence Award by U SPORTS.
 
In addition to maintaining teaching responsibilities and advising graduate students in the UBC School of Kinesiology throughout his coaching career, Mosher also served as the athletic department's academic coordinator, providing expert advice and service to all UBC athletes and coaches regarding admissions and academic eligibility. He also served one year (1991-92) as the Interim Director of Athletics following the retirement of Bob Hindmarch.
