"She cares deeply about mental health but struggles to deal with individuals who have mental health issues. She preaches to be honest and direct but seems to be fearful of receiving the same back towards her. If she loves you then you’ll have no problems with her however if you are not a favorite you’re in for a bumpy ride. Be careful when she promises you things as she does not deliver and will gaslight you into believing that promise was never made. However some positives are; she’s always available via text, she believes in rest days (only for the people who play a ton of minutes which is fair). She tries new formations, and she believes in addressing the emotional aspects of soccer. Overall was not a good coach for me personally due to the lack of honesty, belief in me, and not delivering on promises. But her favorites had little to no problems with her."

"Athletes not developed beyond the team. Practices always scheduled to conflict with all other possible benefits of being part of a big athletic department (career services, networking, etc) Mark coaches the same 8 athletes all year, period. Seems charming but in fact is antisocial. Cares almost exclusively about erg scores. "

"Marcelo is one of the worst coaches in the NCAA for water polo. He is manipulative and lacks empathy. Very few to no girls on the team like him. He is very knowledgeable about water polo and prepares his players well for games. On the other hand, because of his foolish tactics, his team will never be a true contender for a national championship. "

"Many other division 1 coaches refer to her as a machiavellian. You really want to respect her because she knows her stuff and is "cool" but she is very unprofessional and actually enights team drama. Just give it time before you see her true colors and you see her belittling a teammate. Also don't count on her for being a resource post graduation."
