Congratulations Sophie on being selected as The Chatham Club Athlete of the Month for September!
1). What is your name, what grade are you in, what school do you attend, what sport and position do you play?
My name is Sophie Davenport. I am a rising senior and play women’s lacrosse at Denison University!! My position is Attack.
2). What is your favorite thing about playing a team sport for your school?
My favorite thing about Denison Women’s Lacrosse is the people. I wake up every day to play my favorite sport with my favorite people. Our team culture and camaraderie are special. Denison has truly shifted my life and shaped me into the person I am today. I consider the team my family—a sisterhood filled with support, resilience, and genuine love. Together, we compete against top-tier teams and challenge ourselves on and off the field, all while having fun.
3). How long have you been training with Robbie?
I have been training with Robbie since my sophomore year of high school!! Roughly 6 years and I’ve loved every second of It!!
4.) Why do you enjoy training at TCC with Robbie?
Robbie pushes me every session to become not only stronger and faster, but more confident in my abilities as a female athlete. His competitiveness, strong faith in his clients and big heart are all reasons why I love training with him at TCC.
5). What are your favorite exercises and why?
Hmmm, good question! I love sumo deadlifts and hang cleans! These are hidden conditioning workouts that get your blood and heart pumping!!
6). What is your least favorite exercise and why?
I’m afraid to answer this because before i know it Robbie will have added it to my next workout. But if i have to give an answer, it would be banded squats… awesome workout but very hard!!
7). Have you seen any improvements in your strength, agility, speed and confidence since you began training?
Absolutely. My strength has improved tremendously. Robbie’s speed and agility workouts have helped me gain a faster start on sprints and quicker feet, which are essential for lacrosse dodges. Most importantly, my confidence has grown exponentially, both in the weight room and on the field.
8). What are goals for this year?
My goal is to help Denison Lacrosse reach the Final Four!!!
9). What is one of the quotes that you live by and why?
“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can”
I think this quote is applicable to all the chapters life holds. Living by the quote keeps me grounded, reminding me that kindness is power.
