Feature Athlete of the Week: Abigail VandenBrink (HDCH)

Abigail VandenBrink is a grade 12 student at HDCH and she has been a big contributor to the Athletics program at HDCH. Every year since grade 9, from September to June, Abigail has been a part of our basketball, volleyball, and soccer teams; she even dabbled in a little badminton. Abigail’s intensity and desire in practice and in games is infectious: she is a positive catalyst for her teammates. Abigail wants to win and she is determined to work as hard as possible to make that happen. She also knows what it takes to succeed. Abigail shows a commitment to her team and to her teammates, modelling the importance of showing up to every game, meeting, and practice: coaches and teammates will see Abigail working hard from start to finish. If communication isn’t happening on the field or the court, the team can count on Abigail to get it going. As the years have passed, it has been a pleasure and a privilege to see Abigail develop her skills and tactics, growing in her ability to make important contributions to the success of her teams. We thank Abigail for her work, and wish her all the best as she heads into post secondary education in September!
