Coach Maurer is a graduate of Simpson University in Redding, Calif. Before
transferring to Simpson, Maurer attended and swam at Golden West College, training
under former USA Olympic Coach Mark Schubert and his father Tracy Maurer.

During his tenure at GWC, he led his team to a CCCAA state championship in addition to
winning individual titles in the 100 and 200 freestyles. At Simpson, Maurer was part of
an inaugural swim team consisting of seven swimmers whose goal of becoming a
top-10 program in the NAIA was realized with a 10th place finish at the NAIA National
Championships in the 2021-22 season.

Maurer has been a coach at Golden West Swim Club for the past 10 years, and was
also the assistant coach at Concordia University Irvine for 3 years. He also volunteered
his time coaching at Simpson his senior year.

Maurer's philosophy can be broken down to three things: Purpose, Leadership, Value.

Purpose: Providing a positive sport experience for athletes, providing the opportunity for
athletes to achieve their full potential through sport, and using it as a holistic means of
individual development.

Leadership: Team unity, discipline, mental toughness, self-confidence, sportsmanship,
and a desire to compete.

Value: Physical safety and health of athletes, coaching responsibility, integrity in
relations with others, respect for athletes and honoring sport.

Maurer believes in teaching student athletes life lessons about hard work,
dedication, and dealing honorably with success and failure because they will
probably experience both at some point in time. Success will be different for
each individual but the common thread in team effort is doing it together,
supporting each other and giving your best to create a positive work
environment.
