from Coach Evan Shanley
If you follow the Vibe at all, you know we love seniors! They represent growth and development for us coaches as we watch them go from 7th and 8th grade kids to young men and women. They become leaders, teachers, and find their own identities in the world. Watching this process may be the best part of coaching.
Coach Evan Shanley sees the same thing and wanted to recognize senior Ashley Stevens. “Abby is my first full 6 year athlete at Apollo” said coach Shanley. “Abby has been the foundation of our team for many years and has exhibited the practice and competition habits we try to teach at Apollo. Abby works hard, is a great leader, is a supportive teammate, and she is very kind…an overall great role model. “
Speaking with Coach Shanley, I know he has focused on building his program at Apollo with a strong culture as the foundation. It sounds like Abby was a great student-athlete to start that process with.
Minnesota Swim and Vibe  gives you a Vibe seal of approval for leading by example, being a leader and being a great teammate. Vibe on Abby!
