"A very poor excuse of a coach. Coach Dent does not care about swimming or the team. Let’s be real, his assistants run the program and even then, he points fingers at them when they don’t do things perfectly. He misses practice regularly for unknown reasons or illnesses that seem to never end. Not only that, but he preaches regularly about his mental health and the importance of talking about it, but has no actual concern for anyone’s mental health but his own. He is quick to belittle swimmers and even his assistants in front of other people. He does not take accountability for his actions and decisions, instead it’s always a blame game, it’s always someone else’s fault for his actions and behavior. Very dishonest and poorly organized, does not do anything in a timely manner. Point blank, this is not someone you want to swim for. "

"I truly hope she’s changed since my time with her but I personally found her to be the worst coach I’ve ever played for. She’s so intelligent and understands the game but the way she treated players was absolutely disgusting. One of my main regrets was never reporting the abuse and rule breaks her and the staff committed. They broke me to the point where I hated basketball, I cried often, and I stopped believing I was a capable player. I was not allowed to have non team friends, I was constantly verbally and physically abused (although it was disguised as contact drills and passing exercises that somehow was beat downs for some players and easy going on the favorites), and they even had a talk with me about “helping” a teammate in my class when it was test time and how if she failed, WE failed and I too would face consequences. These coaches believe that they have to break you down so they can claim they created you. I still look back and think, wow, I really made it through that. I’m so lucky that my coach after them made me love the sport and actually built me up again. "

"Coach Tiff has become one of my role models in life. Early on she tells you what she expects from you not only as a player, but as a person. She has a strong emphasis on being your best everyday on & off the field. She does whatever she can to help you succeed but will also be very straight forward. She’s a fierce competitor in everything she does."

"Coach Tiff is honestly an amazing coach. She really believes in the success of each individual on the team. She stands behind her core values and not only sets team goals, but breaks it down even further and establishes specific Offensive, Defensive, and Individual goals. These goals hold everyone accountable. One of the best mentors I ever had."

"Tiff is one of the most inspiring, kind, motivating, positive and knowledgeable coaches I have ever had the privilege of playing for. She truly understands the game and has such a passion and love of the sport that radiates onto her players. Tiff is one of those coaches that brings out the best in her players and makes you want to go out and win not only for the team, but for her too. She not only cares about you as a player, but a student, and places importance on academic and life after soccer"

He has consistently made great doubles teams out of players who did not previously have significant success as doubles players."
