"From a prior review - "She cast aside any athlete that she didn’t mesh with immediately" THIS explains it. If you can make her starting line up or first subs in, great. Play for her. She is knowledgeable and has clear success. If not, expect to be treated as second class without consideration. She would go over hours during the off season. Does not care about mental health (unless key player) or academics. Was reprimanded for a doctor visit without her consent, extremely inappropriate given practice schedule was respected. Did not contribute to preparation for the "real world" but rather left with toxic memories and gained self worth. Her assistant coaches are phenomenal though. "

Accessible Cool Intense Cares About Academics Easy To Get Along With

"Rick is an incredibly respectful and approachable coach. His strength as a coach lies in the coaching staff he builds around him and his emphasis on his swimmers outside the pool (i.e., academics, leadership, kindness). There's a lot of potential with the program, and I always felt that Rick could've done a better job at maintaining momentum with recruiting + refreshing the program itself to stay on top of new trends in swimming. Overall, solid coach and one that builds a fun environment to be around."

"I find the Joanie cares about her players academics and personally but has trouble relating to some players on the field. She has helped several of her players through personal challenges and is always there to help them in any way she can off the field. On the field, her coaching is more "old school" in nature. "

"The only downside to the facilities is that the field is off-campus. Other than that, they just built a brand new on-campus lockerroom that is gorgeous, and are starting to build a brand new off-campus lockerroom at the field that is sure to be amazing as well."
