"Fair coach who is honest and helpful. "

"Very honest coach who cares about players. "

"This woman does not know a single thing about the sport of lacrosse. She lacks creativity in coming up with practice plans and has no sympathy for athletes who are injured. We had two different assistant coaches while I was “coached” by her at Bridgewater and she refused to communicate effectively with either of them. They were constantly arguing and disagreeing in front of the team. She picks on girls who are self-conscious or aren’t good enough and forces them to talk about their insecurities in front of the whole team. She is the WORST at constructive criticism. She thinks that because she has a psych degree, she can just tell everyone that they need to go to therapy when they are struggling with personal issues. Team moral on the field was really low because of her lack of support and knowledge of the game. We all had a really great bond and the team had a lot of skill but we weren’t able to succeed on the field because of limitations she placed on us. We had the same plays and practiced the same drills every year, and when we asked to change things up, she refused. I truly felt like I didn’t have a coach, rather a woman who stood on the sideline and whined about all of our imperfections as athletes and students. She really crushed my confidence and ruined my love for the sport."

"The most caring, dedicated, and fun coach. Super motivating because he is awesome to be around. "

"I have always looked up to Coach Dave even before I was swimming for him! I would always see him with his USA swimmers and I always wanted to swim for him today! He is literally the best swim coach ever I am honored to have had the opportunity to swim for him here at Transy! "

"Dave has never not been honest with me. When asking if I can do anything extra he will always tell me what I need to do to get where I want and is always willing to help athletes get exactly what they want out of being apart of his team. "

"I’ve been swimming my whole life and Dave is the best coach I’ve ever had. "

"I love Dave. Because of him, I have learned to love the sport of swimming. Thank you Dave!"

"Dave always has a great attitude and loves the entire team dearly!"

"Keaton is the best coach i have ever had in my life. She’s there for all the athletes both in and out of the water. No one will ever compare. She’s so loving, understanding, passionate and is always a listening ear with great advice. "

"WE LOVE DAVE!!! Dave is the best. So funny. Such a great guy who loves to see his athletes. To know dave is to love dave. "

"Absolutely the best coach I’ve ever had in my life"
