"Amanda is the worst coach I have had in the 12 years I have been a skater. Not only is she abusive, but she also is an idiot. Elements didn’t get called due to lack of understanding with rules. Sole cause of multiple injuries and she doesn’t believe in injuries or illness. She needs to be removed and banned from usfs due to the trauma she has caused. She has a very low retention rate and also does not care about the school aspect of student athletes. She is the reason I lost my love for this sport, and I hope no one else chooses Adrian for skating unless you want your college and skating career to be miserable."

"Disrespectful, worst coach I have ever played for. Talked down about his players behind their backs and even to their faces. Would never recommend anyone to play for him, he ruined my mental health. I have had extremely tough coaches in the past, but he was the most degrading of all."

"Self-centered. Skaters are a means to an end for her. it is all about how she looks as a coach and not the well-being of her skaters. She claims the skaters' success as her own and doesn't attribute any of it to her athletes. She ignored numerous injuries and encouraged skaters to skate sick, injured, and with concussions. She can't manage budgets at all and sent skaters to bed without dinner the night before a competition. She wasted thousands of dollars hiring prestigious choreographers and then throwing away the choreography because she didn't pay attention during camp and didn't know how to coach it. She was hired by chance and was not qualified at all for this position. She manipulated a skater into continuing to skate when they were prohibited from it from their doctor because of treatment for an eating disorder. Made abusive comments about skaters' bodies and personal lives. Full of empty promises and manipulation. She is currently under investigation with Safe Sport and has had more than one complaint filed to USFSA. Thank goodness she no longer coaches at Adrian College. "
