"Despite what some of these disrespectful and untrue posts say, Gretchen is a great coach. She puts all of her heart into coaching and you can see it. Even when and if I don’t believe in myself, Gretchen shows that she does. If she is not coaching, she is planning an event for Georgia College Athletics or helping another coach with something. Her goal is to create the best student-athlete experience and she has accomplished it. If a player is slacking on their academics, she holds us accountable. She is not perfect, but no one is. Her door is always open for you to talk about anything you are dealing with. She understands a lot because she was a college athlete too. She cares about so much more than the wins and loses unlike what another post said. She cares about her team so much and we can tell. Gretchen has done so much for the volleyball program and athletic program as a whole and she will be missed so much! "

"Coach Gretchen was one of the most real coaches I’ve had. She is strong and passionate for the sport and she showed that in her coaching. She was intense at times but that’s all a part of the game, especially at this level. She made it her goal to connect with her players and give them a good school/sport experience and I’d say she achieved that very well. I’ve had many coaches but when it comes to the ones that have made me stronger and given me a healthier mentality, I had Gretchen. Thank you for making sacrifices for us and growing us as a team. You are appreciated a ton, and you will be missed. "
