For the most part, Mandy is not a fan of the human race. She is dismissive, abrasive, abusive, and argumentative. The one thing she excels at is hiding her true personality. She will kill you with kindness and compliments until you step foot on the pool deck. From that point on you will spend every day wishing she had just killed you. The number of swimmers that have left or quit is insane. How this monster still has a job is the real question. Swimmers are built different - they are conditioned to be mentally and physically strong. She will break you. She will steal your passion for the sport you have spent your whole life loving. Choose wisely- avoid Mandy.

Yeo don't even get me started about Mandy fam. She seemed like a decent coach from our recruiting calls and meetings. The truth however arose rather quickly, when I first joined the team she did not say a word to me for weeks. Only when did I start rising in the team did she begin to notice and communicate with me. She only cares for swimmers who can win a championship as that means another bonus for her. Her and her coaching staff have a repetitive nature of meeting with swimmers and suggesting they stop swimming or transfer elsewhere. Even promising students that she will honor their scholarship, only to text them 10 days before the payments due to cancel on that promise. I recommend staying away from her, as she is a horrid disease hiding behind a smile. The only reason she is still a coach is because her daddy's company that her husband works for pays the school hella and the university wants to be seen as "diverse" for having a female head coach. Even tho Mandy hates anyone that is not white.

Unfortunately, the experience was not what I was promised when I was recruited nor was her attitude towards her athletes. The team has only gone down hill, the continuously changing staff and numbers of athletes that have transferred out or been cut proves this. Before choosing a school, do your research and try to find other athletes that will give you an honest opinion on the school.
