Cleveland State University

"He knows what he’s doing track wise but was inappropriate with a teammate and it took the school 2 years of reporting to finally fire him. Was sneaking around the locker rooms and regularly hanging out with her outside of track/school. Literally went crazy his last year here because he knew he was getting fired. Only cared about the one girl he was inappropriate with and didn’t care if it ruined the team. He was snapchatting her and messaging her at 3 in the morning which is not normal. We reported him for 2 years but the school didn’t care until everyone (including staff and athletes) started finding out. He used to me an okay coach until she came to the school. Now him and the that girl both coach at his club team. Glad our point got proven. Cleveland state sucks and doesn’t believe their athletes"

"Terrible experience and treats all players differently. Mental draining human "

"We call him coach Killaplayer for a reason. He will make you run for the entire practice (3+ hours) for the slightest mistake. Would not discipline the starters or star players, but treated 2nd or 3rd string like garbage. "

"One star- Do not Recommend "

"Hannah came as the Men’s and Women’s team head coach my senior year at CSU. Initially she was very cool, personable, and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know the team helping and us improve. However, towards the middle of the season she began to shift and center her attention primarily towards the men’s team. She left the women’s team to the assistant coaches and barely worked with them during practices. I would say that her knowledge of the sport is average at best. Hannah appeared to be an advocate for the “garbage yardage” training method. Rarely during the season do I remember swimming a practice where there was a primary focus on technique. During the season she also used the team’s budget to hire a “team motivator / councilor”, who was not licensed as a councilor in anyway, to come to the university and speak to the team. She did this roughly four times throughout the season and it was later found out that she was also using the team budget to pay for this person’s flights and hotel stay during these times. Many teammates felt that this was a huge waste of funds that could’ve been better spent on supplies the team needed rather than a speaker with no At the end of the season, during our conference championship, she chose the athletes that would be attending the meet based on her “gut feeling” rather than how athletes actually performed during the season or their times. Hannah Burandt is an individual that looks out for herself and is willing to use athletes as a means of furthering her personal goals, then discard them when she deems that they are no longer any use to her. If you are offered to have her as your coach, I recommend looking somewhere else with a coach that actually value and care for you. "
