From First Whistle to Facility Coordinator: Ashley Marthaler on LGIT & Aquatics Leadership (Sept 24, 2025)
Tonight on Navigating Neva, Nicole and co-host Wes spotlight Ashley Marthaler—an aquatics pro who started guarding at 16 and, by 24, has leveled up through guard → head guard → manager → coordinator to Facility Coordinator at Illinois State. She just wrapped LGIT academy and is eyeing the Aquatics Director path. We talk early wins, hard lessons, event + aquatics ops, and how LGIT reshapes training culture.
