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!”

Kathy has been an amazing member of the PTS community for 12 years and an incredible part of our community. Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our July POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype I love Prototype. I knew Mike and Brian from BSC and Mike approached me one day, saying that he thought I would really love a crossfit workout. Naturally, I thought he was out of his mind. I have loved every minute of my time for the past 12 years. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community. No matter what class I take, everyone is warm and welcoming. It isn’t always easy to walk into a new class, at Prototype that is never an issue for me. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love to travel. I enjoy hiking, walking, tennis and swimming. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? When I am at Prototype, I can block out the noise of the world around me and just breathe. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My dad lived until 101.5 years old. He always did some form of exercise and it paid off for him. My goals are to continue to be active, get on the floor with my grandchildren and be able to get up. I really feel that exercising is akin to making a deposit for the future. There will come a time when I will have to make some withdrawals, and I want to have enough deposits to cover those withdrawals. 6.)
