Massive ego, emotionally manipulative, and body shames. Times are changing, she refuses to accept any critics from players AND her own staff. Only holds herself accountable when it is convenient for her… For example, Coach Shelton will have a minor error maybe being a few minutes late (extremely rare) or just anything that is technically punishable but irrelevant to the grand scheme of things she will then announce that she is wrong and punishing herself; therefore, we are to believe if she has made a mistake, she will omit and fix it. However she will never hold herself accountable for large errors that effect individuals/the team as a whole. On a positive note she is exceedingly punctual and expects the same of players, the (extremely) high standards she holds players to definitely helps later in life. Overall, I think she could work on being more compassionate and cut out gossiping about her own players (current and former).
