New Interns and 90-Day Coaching Boot Camp

Mike Collette • May 19, 2023

We would like to welcome back two interns, Abbie Lussier and Gaby Baker! They will be a part of our 90-day coaching boot camp, so if you see them around say hi! Below are their bios to get to know them a little better!

Abbie Lussier:

Abbie graduated from Blackstone Valley Technical High School and is now studying Exercise Science at Springfield College. She is also minoring in Athletic Coaching. Abbie has a background in soccer, having played for her high school and a club team. She was voted captain of her high school soccer team and received the unsung hero award from her teammates. In college, Abbie excelled in strength and conditioning, earning the title of Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year and serving as Vice President of her college club team. Abbie is also a competitive dancer and acrobat, winning numerous national awards and becoming an individual national champion in her senior year. Through her sports experiences, Abbie has developed a strong passion for leadership and coaching. She has been training at Prototype since 2019 and looks forward to applying her knowledge and skills in her future coaching endeavors.

Her hobbies are, hanging out with friends, working out, dancing, doing flips, and playing soccer!

“I am very excited to learn and grow as a coach through this experience!”

“Everyone at Prototype is so welcoming, I can’t wait to build relationships with them!”

Gaby Baker:

Gaby graduated from Grafton High School and is now studying Biology with a concentration in Physiology at Emmanuel College. She is a goalkeeper on the women’s soccer team there as well. Of all the sports teams at Emmanuel, her team had the second highest combined GPA! With her major, she is hoping to become a personal trainer or sports performance coach. She has been coming to Prototype since she was in eighth grade, so around 6 years now! Last year she interned here, and was put in charge of a lot of administrative work. Having that role allowed her to develop better leadership skills as well as better communication skills. She hope to be able to expand on those skills as she take on this internship! She has also been coaching at the Nike Soccer Camps for the past 3 years, going on 4. This summer she has been given the opportunity to take on a higher role at the Nike camps, where she also hopes to expand and develop new skills.

Her hobbies are working out, hanging out with friends and family, and playing soccer.

“I’m so excited to be back at Prototype this year!”

“I can’t wait to work with all of the coaches again, and gain a new perspective”

“I am excited to meet as many people as possible during this internship!”

Prototype has helped enormously with my level of anxiety, I was really struggling when we first moved into town, the community and workouts at Prototype have been a life saver for my mental health.

Devon is a fantastic part of our community — always kind, coachable, easy-going, and consistently putting in the work. She shows up, supports others, and truly represents what PTS is all about. Prototype of the Month is well deserved! Below, she answers a few questions about her time at PTS. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype After what felt like an entire year of sitting during grad school, I knew I wanted to be more active. I came back to Prototype, and it was the best decision. I’ve made so many new friends here who make every class fun (no matter how tough the workout is) but my favorite moment has to be meeting my boyfriend Ed! 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I used to do at-home workouts and always felt like something was missing. When I came to Prototype, it felt like I finally found that missing piece, the community! It truly makes a huge impact. Everyone here genuinely wants the best for you. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? If I’m outside, I love playing pickleball, skiing, and going for walks. And if I'm inside I enjoy crocheting, reading, or baking! 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has shown me that if you put your mind to something, you can truly do hard things. I also know I will always feel better after going to the gym. Sometimes the hardest part is just getting in the car, but I never regret it once I’m there. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? To get some form of movement everyday and to one day get a pull up. 6.)
