"Coach Graham is an innovator in starting and turning teams around. She sets a fair expectations for her athletes to follow. She knows how to get the athletes to motivate, and if they fail to perform, she knows how to shake the tree to get rid of the bad fruit. She leaves choices for the athletes to make and most don’t follow the path to hard work. If you have Coach Betsy as a coach, you made a good choice. "

"Betsy Graham was an exceptional coach during my final two years under her guidance at UTPB. She arrived in my junior year, inheriting a team lacking structure and discipline from the previous coach, who fostered a party-like atmosphere. Coach Graham implemented rules and brought about significant changes, which some on the team resisted. However, she held us to standards, expecting punctuality, dedication to improvement, and academic excellence. Despite facing resistance, she recruited faster swimmers to enhance the team's competitiveness, prompting some to leave due to their unwillingness to adapt. Coach Graham provided candid feedback on my performance, investing time to help me improve. While my scholarship was partially reduced due to academic and performance reasons, she could have revoked it entirely, yet chose not to, allowing those who proved themselves to retain their scholarships. Some teammates departed as a result of scholarship reductions, but Coach Graham's fairness ultimately improved the team's environment, gradually weeding out dissenters. Blaming her for any loss of passion for swimming is misguided; it was their resistance to change that led to their discontent. It's time for these former teammates to mature and take responsibility for their own choices."

"My daughter swam at UTPB under Coach Graham's guidance. Coach Graham was consistently respectful and fair, offering her options following an injury that sidelined her from a few meets. However, the UTPB physical trainers, unfortunately, made decisions regarding her ability to swim without adequate consideration. When my daughter discussed her future with Coach Graham, she received honest and fair guidance, even though it led to a reduction in her scholarship after the current semester, allowing her to pursue treatment and therapy. Coach Graham provides options and respects individual choices. Many who departed were unwilling to contribute to building the program Coach Graham sought to transform, preferring a more casual atmosphere prior to her arrival. Notably, those who committed to Coach Graham's program, both on the men's and women's teams, thrived. I believe Coach Graham will excel in her new program, and hopefully, she will be supported by a more dedicated group of athletes. Best of luck, Coach Graham."

"Coach Betsy teaches techniques and skills. My athlete worked with her and was able to correct stroke technique that club coach could not. Betsy was always available to help build confidence in my young swimmer and ended up swimming for her in college. She had a successful time in college. Could not ask for a better coach. "

"When Coach Betsy arrived at UTPB, she faced the daunting task of overhauling the team culture. As a sophomore at the time, I experienced firsthand the challenges we faced. The coach who recruited me was dismissed, and my freshman year was marred by a culture of drinking, partying, and drug use within the team. Enter Coach Graham, who brought a refreshing change to UTPB. She implemented structure, enforced rules, and successfully transformed the team culture. Coach Graham operated with an open-door policy, making herself available day and night to support her athletes. She only revoked scholarships when athletes failed to adhere to the rules. It's disheartening to read negative reviews from former teammates who fail to acknowledge the truth. Coach Graham empowered athletes with choices, allowing them to decide their path within the team. Those who chose to depart due to the new direction should reflect on their decisions before tarnishing Coach Graham's reputation, especially as she pursues new opportunities. Coach Graham worked tirelessly with limited resources to turn the team around. Instead of dwelling on past grievances, we should recognize her dedication and support her as she embarks on a new chapter in her coaching career. Good Luck Coach Graham, you have made a difference to the rest of us. #ForeverFalconPride"

"Coach Betsy is a wonderful coach. "
