Lacked communication with some who had alternative practice schedules, intense favoritism, put boats on the water where ice froze to oars or conditions caused several boats to capsize

Your experience depends on if she likes you. For me, I was in the middle. She is a bit manipulative and way too involved in athlete's personal lives. Unhealthy team culture. Tells the 1V girls to not stretch with the 2V girls even though we are teammates. Fast boats weren't a priority (our 1V was slower than our 2V).

Pushes you to mentally deteriorate and manipulates you. If she likes you, your life will be easy though. But you never know if/when that will happen. Uses scholarship money as a tool to get her way.I hope I never have to deal with another person who operates in such an ill manner

She is intense. You will become a stronger person after completing 4 years here for sure. A good coach will prep you for the real world and she does that in spades. Its not all sunshine and rainbows but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Mentally unstable & manipulative. Doesn't care about physical/mental health or classroom successes. Will punish if injured. Unpredictable reactions and rationale. No fair seat races, changes line ups the day of races & chooses athlete favorites. Only way she still works for UT is her connections in the athletic department. Don't row/Cox for her!

As much as people like to bash on how much of a terrible person lisa glenn is, she is not that bad.You get what you put into this team. If you are focused and truly committed to the sport of rowing, and show that you want to truly succeed, you will be fine with having a coach like her. She's not the greatest coach, but she isn't the worst.

Her negative reputation is largely fostered by people who were unprepared for the commitment and occasional impersonability of D1 rowing. Is she the best coach? No. But her training plans make sense, she rarely goes over hours, and she truly wants the team to succeed. Come misunderstandings, she is more than willing to meet w/ you and explain.

Very manipulative. Was very difficult to understand why some days she was super nice to you and than the next day you never existed. She got too involved with athletes outside factors, too controlling to a point where the atmosphere in the boat house was always cold. She is shady and has lied to recruits to come on the team. I have proof of this.

Extremely inconsistent. Experiences were on a case by case basis. Could sometimes be motivational/provide support, but for the most part was typically cold and difficult to contact/approach.

Sucks to see the haters on here. Way to go ladies. If anything, Coach Glenn is a rule follower to a fault. She rarely ever exceeded practice time with us, and on the chance we did go over on some days, she'd cut practice shorter on the next.

She's good. Has had great results In the past too so she obviously knows what she's doing. It's really easy to post negative comments anonymously online. Coach Glenn will have an honest discussion with you if you have the guts to talk to her in person

Doesn't care about her athletes well being, emotionally or physically. Doesn't take the time to get to know any of us, we are all just a number. Doesn't treat atheletes fairly, all she cares about/interacts with is the top boat. Chooses favorites. Goes over practice hour regulations. Manipulative and plays mind games. Overtrains athletes.

She will goes days without responding to you. She doesn't care personally about her athletes; Whether that is academically or physically. She doesn't respect our time that is not spent at the boathouse. She is manipulative.

doesn't place people in boats off of ability, only focus on the achievement of the first boat and does not care for the other boats when coaching, only cares for the well being of the first boat, disregards injury of athletes, punishes athletes who are hurt, not personable, do not take the time to get to know you, you are just a number

Coach Glenn is a great coach. Intense. And generally fair and straight forward. She is very structured and has high expectations for her athletes. I loved all four years rowing for her. The people who don't like Coach Glenn are people she has called out for not giving their best effort. She is not going to baby you through this process.

Has some good days, mostly bad. You never know where you stand with her, her mood changes by the hour. Plays favorites, punishes students for attempting to do what is needed for academics, punishes for injuries, punishes for offending her (you never know if what you say will be taken the wrong way). Double standards for her favorite rowers, rarely open to feedback (specifically forbidden while in the boat), does not seat race fairly or appropriately, overall has no idea how to make fast boats

Lets factors outside of rowing interfere with boat placements; does not give equal opportunity to everyone; does not create an environment fit for open and honest discussion; passive-aggressive toward those who challenge her; not inclusive of all rowers (only focus is top boat, specifically the V8); not enough clarity with instruction and feedback; lack of positive constructive criticism; lack of concern with injuries; fear of repercussion if something is done and/or said that displeases her
