"I rowed for kate all 4 years of my rowing career and she is so bad a**. She always has the best intentions and wants the most for her athletes. Being a head coach is hard but she did a great job. "
"Kate will bring you in by acting like she cares about you and developing you but once you’re there it’s not reality. She only cares about numbers and will say anything to you (mainly placing blame) if you can’t hit a number. She blames the athletes for everything especially by turning illness and injury against them. All in all she is an emotional bully and creates a toxic environment inside her team both emotionally and physically with the training plan. "
"I loved my time at Oregon state rowing for Kate. She is an amazing leader and truly cares about the athletes. She knows everything about everyone on the team and take into account life outside the boathouse. If you buy into her plan the results show. "
"Gabe is an awesome guy and one of the best coaches I have ever had. He loves rowing and really helped me develop and improve even though I was struggling to keep up with the team!"
"Very knowledgeable about golf specific coaching. Does not care about academics and creates a culture of hostility. Pits players against eachother. Inconsistent with rules, different for every player. "
"Coach Evano is a great coach. He believes in his athletes and is a wonderful recruiter. It makes sense why the team culture is so solid, because his and Coach Winkler do such a great job at finding the best guys for the team. If you get a chance to be on his team, sign on."
"Coach Gabe is honestly a great coach and person overall. He believed in me and his coaching staff unlike most people. He truly loves his athletes and the overall grind to perform at a high level. He is a great recruiter and if you have a chance to be on his team, I would suggest to take it. Coach Gabe is awesome!"
"Kate is an abusive, bully. I don’t want to go into detail to protect my identity, but she uses everything against you and treats athletes like numbers. Will train people until they get injured and then punish them for injuries."
"Has a big training and workout ethos. One of the biggest team jokes that come to mind is with regards to how the only way you'll get faster on the erg is with a montage. Very personable when it comes to coaching rowing from a rower's perspective, but if that approach doesn't work his lessons fall flat as he really only has one method of teaching."
"She obviously knows how to play softball and played it very well as an Olympic athlete, but she doesn't know how to coach a team. She doesn't communicate well with her players and hardly gives an coaching advise to help her players develop. Before this last season she only started her starting 9 no matter the game, creating a selfish environment."
"Highly knowledgeable coach that gets the most out of his teams year after year.
Will demand the most out of you, while still having fun. He cares not only about basketball but successes off the court. "
"I didn't get too close with Emily Ford, but you can tell that she is passionate about what she does. Not a very personable person, but she will turn you into a great rower if you follow her plan"
