Catching Up With Ashlyn Broussard
June 30, 2016 | Gymnastics
ATHENS, Ga. — Ashlyn Broussard is set to begin her final season as a Gymdog in January.
The 2015 Team MVP appeared in the vault lineup in all 16 meets for the Gymdogs this past spring as well as 15 times on beam. She won an event title with a 9.925 on beam in a close contest against Auburn, and she's looking to step up her game further in 2017.
Broussard, a native of Plano, Texas, took time to discuss the 2016 season, what she's most excited for next year and what's best about being a Gymdog.
Where are you currently training?
Broussard: UGA
Q: Looking back at last season, what's the biggest lesson that you hope to carry in to the upcoming year?
Broussard: Looking back at last season, the biggest lesson I learned was finding my "why". We spent a lot of time talking about finding our purpose and I think it made a huge impact. It really put everything into perspective and it is something that I will definitely carry into the upcoming season.
Q: What's one thing that you will always remember about the 2016 team outside of competition?
Broussard: There are so many things that I will remember about the 2016 team, but the biggest thing that I will always remember is how resilient and hard-working we were collectively as a whole.
Q: What's been most enjoyable for you this summer?
Broussard: Going home and spending time with family and friends has been the most enjoyable for me this summer.
Q: What are you most excited for when you return to Athens or when the new school year starts?
Broussard: Before I got back to Athens, I was most excited about seeing all of my teammates again and getting back into the gym.
Q: What is your favorite thing about being a Gymdog?
Broussard: UGA's history is full of so many legacies and traditions, and to actually be a part of it is indescribable.
