Julie Brosseau: New Challenges

The Utah women's basketball program is known for having many Canadians on their roster and they just added another, Julie Brosseau. Brosseau is a junior transfer from the University of Maine where she spent the first two years of her college career but wanted a new challenge as she is coming closer to the end of her college days.
Â
"I was really interested in playing at a power five conference school and wanted to challenge myself by competing in a conference with many talented players," Brosseau said.
Â
Brosseau is from Repentigny, Quebec and starting playing basketball in the fourth grade when her sister introduced her to the game. Different from many players who start playing basketball when they are young, Brosseau quickly picked up the sport and became a sharp shooter that every team wants on their roster. Brosseau is the daughter of Johanne Miletter and Patrice Brosseau and credits them and her sister for success she has had on and off the court.
Â
"The biggest influences in my life would have to be my family. My sister because she originally taught me the game of basketball but also my parents because the more I played the more my parents got involved and helped me get to where I am today." Â
Â
Brosseau played for Montmorency, the same program as teammates Maurane Corbin and Andrea Torres. In high school, Brosseau helped lead her team to three consecutive CCAA National Championships and also earned first-team CCAA All-Star honors in 2015 from her performances. Once her prep days came to an end, Brosseau was rated the fourth-best player in Canada in 2016 by Crown Scott Magazine and committed to continue her career at the University of Maine.
Moving away and going to a school out of the country would be tough for anyone, but Brosseau didn't find it tough at all.
Â
"There was the language barrier that made it tough in the beginning but I am a person that adapts easily so it wasn't too difficult," Brosseau explained. "It's different because you aren't living with your parents, but you get to have roommates and cook for yourself so I enjoyed it."
Â
While at Maine, Brosseau played two seasons where she scored over 500 points, led the team in three-point shooting, tied the school record for most threes made in a game, and helped lead the team to the NCAA tournament in 2018. As a sophomore, Brosseau ranked fourth in the American East Conference in three pointers made per game and averaged 11.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. With this experience, Brosseau was ready to move on to a bigger conference.
Â
Now at Utah, Brosseau is excited for the future but will have to sit out one year due to NCAA transfer rules. Sitting out a year is tough for many college players, but Brosseau sees this as an opportunity to work on her game.
Â
"I have a lot of time for myself this year so I can work on my game. I can work on my pull-up jumpers, dribbling, and I am just trying to get better because I don't have the opportunity to play this year. I kind of enjoy it because I know the results will pay off for next year."
Â
Brosseau is ready for the next chapter in her life and all of the experiences that will come along with it. One goal that Brosseau has it to make it to the NCAA tournament while she is here at Utah and she believes this team can make it with a hard work ethic.
Â
"I really want this team to make it to March Madness," Brosseau said. "This is like the ultimate goal for me and I know we are capable of it, we just need to work hard every day."
