The Colorado Rapids season is over, there are only a couple more weeks of training left before the off-season officially starts, and Andre Shinyashiki just won MLS Rookie of the Year. But that doesn’t mean he can relax.
“It’s still kind of sinking in,” Shinyashiki says of winning RoY. “But the reality is that nothing changes, you know. I’m still what I am, I still have to prove myself every day in practice. So, I appreciate the recognition and all the messages that the fans sent me but works the continues now.”
Looking back at the 2019 season—filled with ups and downs and three different head coaches—makes it even more impressive that Shinyashiki was able to find consistency in his game.
