The team atmosphere was toxic due to the coaches playing favorites. A lot of athletes get hurt, which attributes to their training styles. The style is very passive, not much conveyed vocally and not focused on technique. Expect repetitive workouts and not much assistance with technical events.

Very understanding about sickness and injuries. Acts like a mom most of the time and always has chocolate milk at practice. She doesn't give a concrete workout or orders, she says "you could run, or you can cross train".

Didn't spend too much time with her because she was more a distance coach and I was a sprinter/hurdler in college. But she was great overall, just a lot of her distance athletes got injured. Always very sweet to me and had a happy vibe about her which I liked.
