"Team culture is just a nightmare. Would be better if coaching staff took feedback seriously and owned up to their mistakes. They put themselves on a pedestal and demand respect while treating certain a the leyes and event groups like dirt. "

"Does not care about her players mental health at all. Creates a fearful environment at practice. Only valued older players and had lots of running punishments if one minute late or if wore wrong practice outfit, or if forgot notebook, etc. values fitness over actual knowledge of the game. do not recommend at all.

"Steve is an outdated coach who does not know how to be honest with people or treat people with respect. He has not kept his knowledge of the sport up with modern times and does not understand how to make swimmers faster. Most swimmers do not improve on his team. Steve is also a liar to boot, he makes promises he can't keep and does not communicate."

"He has no idea how to actually train swimmers who don’t benefit from what are basically all sprint workouts. He also has no idea how to put together a conference team, or train people for a third event so almost everyone ends up swimming the 50 at co Terence."

"He doesn't seem to care about anything and gives little effort. He will tell us at practice to "go faster" and when his swimmers ask for advice and how, he responds with "find a way". He's a coach. He needs to give us tips and help us. He is disrespectful and closed minded. He is hard to talk to about things. He is horrible with communication"

"Gini is a terrible coach who is never going to have a winning season bc of the person that she is. Her players don't respect her&I'm sure her assistants dont either She is not objective when it comes to who should play and is stupid when it comes to injuries and how to handle them. There should be a test to allow coaches to coach bc she would fail "

"Coach Potsklan is a nice guy. However, his coaching abilities need dramatic improvement. His greatest coaching flaw is his inability to adapt to the ever-evolving sport. The improvement in the team this year is due to an attitude change from within the team, and had very little to do with Coach Potsklan. I do not recommend swimming his program."
