“I have been playing soccer for over 34 years, and been to multiple World Cups and Olympic Games, but never have I ever felt challenged and improved in such a short amount of time than when I was working with Ashley Selman at Evolution Trainers. Ashley took the typical exercise and made it dynamic, explosive, technical and specific. All the movements had direct correlations to the movements I could use every moment during a soccer game. I felt immediately comfortable with Ashley. She pushed me, laughed with me and listened to me. I am so glad that we began working together for my return to professional soccer. See you at Evolution Trainers.”
- Brandi Chastain
