I have had a ton of coaches throughout my athletic career and I can say that Coach Astrauskas has probably been the most impactful on the court and off. She is incredibly intense with very high expectations that I have always felt were fair. I feel that’s how it should be if you’re passionate about the sport and hope to share that intense passion and desire to win with your team. I have always appreciated coach’s honesty and intensity, but also am grateful for her ability to turn it off and have real conversations with her athletes. She is always there when they need someone to go to, especially while trying to navigate all that comes with getting through college and even life’s challenges. I am forever thankful to have had the opportunity to play under Coach. I hope many future generations of Ripon College athletes are lucky enough to get the same opportunity I was afforded, as my experience under coach has helped mold me into who I am today.

She is incapable of taking accountability for her actions. She literally cannot accept that the girls that she chooses to play together DO NOT MESH and that's why there is loss after loss, she also is incapable of coming to the realization that she creates terrible line ups. Doing the same thing over and over is the definition of insanity. Keeping the same line up loss after loss is insane. Keeping girls on the bench game after game to watch their teammates lose for everyone when they could possibly contribute positively is just straight torture. Let's PLEASE make some changes! Does not support Mental Health!

She is absolutely cruel. Hands down one of the most disrespectful coaches I’ve ever had. She is mean, does not care about her players and she is fat phobic. I would never want to play for her ever again.
