"Betsy was honestly the worst coach I have ever had. After meeting with her about my mental health several times, I still did not receive any support, resources, or care from her. She was always late to practice (if she showed up) and never cared to talk to any athletes before or after practice unless an athlete specifically asked to talk. Even then there was rarely any privacy options with little to no response to her. There were also several times where she breached confidentiality by telling the entire team things that other athletes had told her privately without their permission. The most positive meet I attended under her was one that she didn’t go to. Betsy definitely favored the men’s team over the women’s team so it’s very confusing to me that she’s allegedly is starting a women’s swimming program. There were several times when I asked Betsy for help with stroke work and she turned me down for all except one time. There were many people on the team that were forced to stop swimming, simply because Betsy didn’t like their personality. We even had one week where 14 people quit due to the blatant disrespect Betsy gave every athlete. If an athlete developed an injury, Betsy immediately blamed everything on the athlete, lost all interest in that athlete, and did not give them the space for recovery. Athletes forced to retire because of these injuries were used as negative examples for the other members of the team. I have not met one person who genuinely had a positive experience with Betsy, and I really hope others can find this site and share their experiences so no one has to deal with her again. "
