"Coach G was knowledgeable about the game and helped build a program. She helped me have a positive year and was thoughtful about creating a space to get to know players better. It was about what you did with that time that mattered a lot and i feel helped determine your experience. Practice was intense and focused and there was not much wasted time. She was passionate about making us better as hitters and knowledgeable. She operated old school in the sense that we had starters and non starters and the that’s not for everyone. Her decision to step on as coach at ART shows how much she cares as it poses challenges most schools do not have to think about. Everything she did made sense, but maybe it’s because i came from a prep program where there were limits on what we could eat and drink, like the nothing but water situation in hawaii. No soda at meals, and focusing on staying hydrated is nothing new at this level. She kept her personal and work life separate and did all of this with a positive attitude. Taking aside experiences with playing time, at the bare bones of her coaching style is love and passion. "
