Coach? More like someone who was extraordinarily discouraging and unmotivating. Let me tell y'all it is a blessing IN PLAIN SIGHT that she is leaving this program. I was so disrespected as an athlete and genuinely felt that I did not belong. I never thought I was wanted on deck along with the 14+ others who quit in one week. YEP ONE WEEK. Honestly, it is so sad because nearly everyone who left could have scored points. Can I get a round of applause, ladies and gents, for the coach who created the worst swim program in UTPB history. With this all being said, anyone who swims under her would be so intelligent (I'M SUPER SARCASTIC BY THE WAY). Betsy took many scholarships away from swimmers who were either injured or ill; however, she allowed people who "safe harbored" on a drug test to keep theirs. BUT WAIT, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE: only half the people (2 of the 4) were punished simply because they were favorites. Okay, sorry for being so negative this whole time, Betsy is unique and her authentic, honest self. She is so sincere that she would show swimmers how much she cared for them by telling them they weren't good enough or could not achieve specific goals that they wanted to pursue. Anyway, let me wrap this up, shout out for ruining my life long swim career. #1 coach
