Poor Communication

"This is a coach who really does not care about her players. She’s rude, impulsive, manipulative, and not a good example. She came into her position and immediately made it clear she didn’t care about the players that she didn’t recruit. She put no effort into coaching a lot of her players and has poor communication, often catching her players off guard with intense feedback. She cares more about her image than her players mental health and wellbeing. "

"He lives, breaths, and sleeps pole vault. Will go out of his way to make things happen for his athlete and will always have your back. Is so knowledgeable and since he jumped very high himself he knows how to explain the feels of the vault. Works with his athletes to better technique… doesn’t just bark orders. Is a great coach and a great guy."

"Sergio is a disappointment to most on the team. He once was a great coach I imagine, but now he just doesn’t care and acts like he doesn’t even want to be on the poor deck. Sergio and the rest of the coaching staff are some of the most closed-minded people I have ever met. They will not work with you to achieve your goals unless they align with their own goals. "
