"Overall I believe Coach Khayla did her best with the amount of athletes and her own personal circumstances. However, more open and honest communication needs to be had between her and her athletes. Transparency is key. There were times I needed constructive criticism and direction and there was little given. I understand we’re adults, but as a collegiate athlete, I don’t think we should be expected to come up with season game plans for ourselves. I honestly didn’t know how to attain the level of success I wanted for myself through my own individualized approach; therefore I believe coaches are present in order to put ideas on the table and the athlete is there to buy in and execute. I think in the future sitting down one on one with athletes and designing an individualized approach together is most beneficial, especially if an athlete expresses interest in doing so. Every athlete is different so whether that be one person does more reps, takes more meets off, or has a different lifting plan then I think it’s something that may have to be done to reach success. On another note, Coach Khayla is very knowledgeable. I just didn’t always feel as if the ideas were ever done as repetitively as they should have been nor were they executed in an orderly manner throughout the season. If she learns to consistently implement ideas and training I think it will bring amazing outcomes. Lastly, I liked the competitive nature that Coach Khayla fostered and I think that healthy competition should always be brought out in practice because that’s to be expected in meets. "

"Coach Khayla is an extremely talented coach who does out her athletes success first. She is very direct and wants the same from her athletes. While others might have a hard time relating to her, because she’s so intense it’s very important for our sport for our coach to make the most/best out of us. We are pushing ourselves to our limits everyday and she brings the energy to revive athletes after a long day of practice and school. She cares very deeply about athletes past their performance, however very few actually go to her for the support. But as someone who has I would not recommend anyone else. Thank you coach Khayla for everything"

"While she can be very tough on her athletes, sometimes to a fault. Coach Atte is one of the most knowledgeable and motivational coaches I have had the pleasure training and competing under "

"Coach Khayla brings her energy and passion to the table. She is detail-oriented and expects the best out of her athletes. At times she can lose touch with her athletes, but it is clear that she wants to be on the same page and reaches out. She's can be intense, but she knows what she's doing."
