Maurica Powell is the kind of women that makes you take responsibility for yourself. She is also the kind of coach that chooses a small group of people to focus all of her attention on. And if you are in that small group and you take responsibility for yourself you will RUN THE WORLD.

She will not write training plans for athletes, and will not communicate with any person on the team who is injured. She also comments insulting jokes to athletes who are injured or aren't performing well. She encourages disordered eating and overall was the worst coach that I have encountered. There is no support from her and she does not care. She may come off nice when she is recruiting, but after that do not expect anything else from her except negative comments or jokes. Definitely do not recommend any athlete to be coached by her. She will not help your athletic career. She also talks negatively about athletes on her team to the staff.
