"As a coach, Kendra is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and very motivational to push you to your best, whether that be in running, pole vaulting, lifting, or just as an athlete. She is very eager to share her skills, knowledge, and love for everything running and lifting. She also works within the Hogan Gym because she is not an assistant coach anymore. I have seen her communicate effectively, listen to feedback, thoughts, and opinions, and she is very understanding when personal or academic life comes into the athletic side of the sport. She believes in you as an athlete and cares about having a good team culture. She is super positive, uplifting, and respectful to any person, community member, or athlete that she meets. She is organized and passionate about coaching, helping student-athletes improve in their sport. Overall, she is a coach who cares about her athletes' well-being and mentality, and is very enthusiastic when it comes to competing. No matter the performance of her athletes, she is always positive, uplifting, and knows that they will become better athletes, students, teammates, and people. I have been really grateful to get to know her as a coach and a person. "
