"Kristina has no business being the lead trainer for the University. She is disorganized and a poor communicator. While she should be an advocate for the students she seems to create as many obstacles for students to get care as possible. I believe she is incompetent and should be fired."

Cares About Academics Knows The Game Knowledgeable Poor Communication Accessible

"He certainly knows a lot about different facets of the game and has constructive criticism in practice, but you better be on his good side or don't expect to get off the bench for matches. Lots of favoritism and he doesn't do a good job of fostering or encouraging a team environment. He's also not great at communicating with his players or making sure everyone is on the same page, and he doesn't provide a high energy environment. "

"Coach Llewellyn is very organized and he worries a lot about academics. He knows a lot about tennis, he has a great idea of what tennis is about and he’ll make sure to help you on that part. However, it is not easy to get to know him. He has a very particular sense of humor that not many are going to be able to understand. Also, I don’t consider him the most energetic coach I’ve had/met. The energy has to come from the player, otherwise it will be hard to create a competitive environment. "

There is never a dull moment. A memorable story is once when I was on the court my coach got super excited and corrected me with an exciting, direct voice. Ever since then I knew there were high standards for me and the season would be full of learning."

"I committed to swim here at Loyola after having a negative experience with my previous club coach. TJ is everything I could ask for in a coach - very involved in our athletic careers and academic careers, but not overly involved in personal life. He is very straightforward with his expectations and standards, creates a healthy team environment, and factors our opinions highly in making major decisions such as recruits. Loves what he does - founded the team 6-7 years ago and has no plans of leaving."
