Cool Knowledgeable Knows The Game Poor Communication Understanding
Kerry will respect you if you respect her. She is an understanding person who wants you to do well inside and outside of the pool, academically and mentally. No "garbage-yardage", instead she focuses on details... She wants to connect with her athletes on a personal level and makes time on the pool deck worthwhile. A big sports fan that gets very intense when watching any sport really, but primarily swimming. The only flaw is that she can be a bit disorganised and lacks communication skills at some times. Kerry is ambitious and sets aims to take LSUSD to the next level. It is a shame that those swimmers that were on the team when she first got the position at La Salle rejected her instantly. The main reason to why the new swimmers committed to La Salle was Kerry. Not only do the swimmers appreciate her but she supports athletes from other teams aswell.

Disorganized Poor Communication
Coach Kerry Smith has successfully ruined the sport of swimming for me. Not only is she disrespectful to her athletes, she does not care about academics, athlete mental health, team mentality, positivity, or the values that LaSalle represents as a community. She fakes caring, she will fool you with the tricks, lies, and the pre-written speeches. Nothing Kerry could do or say could redeem the way in which she destroyed my collegiate D1 swimming experience. To add to this, when she was confronted about it, she gaslight myself, my family, and the athletic dept.
