Our Athlete of the Month for June is Caroline Monks.
Caroline is a Junior at Oak Knoll School and plays defense on the lacrosse team. She shared with us that she enjoys training with Robbie at The Chatham Club because, “he pushes me beyond my limits and makes me a better athlete. The positive environment he creates continues to build my confidence – which helps when playing such a competitive high school sport.
