"Encouraging both academically and athletically throughout my 4 years at Franklin College. Helped me break through a plateau by encouraging me to try new things and take risks. Both applicable skills to real life that I don’t go a day without using."

"I swam at franklin college for Andrew Hendricks for 4 years and I can honestly say he became my second father."

"My time at Franklin was everything I could’ve ever hoped for plus more. The team atmosphere, lifelong friendships, and so much more are honestly unlike any other program I’ve heard about. I had so many friends swimming at other schools tell me “oh I wish we did that at our school.” I’ll always be proud to be apart of the Franklin College Swimming and Diving Team. "

"Coach Hendricks is everything you could ask for in a college swim coach. He has established a great team culture that brings both current athletes and alumni together. He has proven that he can unlock untapped potential in his athletes leading to championships. He also is committed to helping athletes succeed in the classroom and their future careers. College swimming was the most tremendous experience of my life thanks to Coach Hendricks."

"This is my first year at franklin swimming for him and he brought me to a whole new level of swimming , he was tough on me and didn’t give up on me. He’s an amazing coach with great values and holds us responsible for not just swimming but academically as well. "

"Always ready to help and work things out with you. Cares about what you are going to do beyond athletics and is always ready to help when he can."

"Andrew Hendricks is exactly what you want in a coach. He is extremely knowledgeable about the swimming world and will talk your ear off if you get him started. He expects great academics as much as he expects greatness in the pool. He doesn't go easy on his athletes because he uses every experience as a learning objective that will set you up for the rest of your life. If you're on the team, and you give a 100 percent, you can expect Coach Andrew Hendricks to be a lifelong mentor, supporter and friend. "

"Very fun, and he cares. Helped me a lot with swim and made me a better swimmer."
