Coach Straub is enthusiastic, friendly, and encouraging. She does a good job of both highlighting what you've done well and what you need to work on. She gives every athlete a base level of attention; if you buy into the program and what she's saying, she'll help you improve a lot as she's done with many athletes.

Great coach, very knowledgeable about the sport! She is nice and encourages everyone to perform their best without putting a lot pressure on athletes, and wants them to have fun doing it most of all this. It can sometimes come off as if she does not care as much about some athletes, however. While she is a good coach, she clearly picks favorites.

Very positive and upbeat. Tries to be supportive and motivating but as someone not directly coached by her I feel she is only invested in how I perform not my learning process or well being (tells me to just go out there and do it basically). Getting better at communicating with the whole team though

She cares so deeply about all her athletes! She is very knowledgeable about the sport, due to her stellar career as an athlete at Wake and ~20 years of coaching experience! She is very invested in the development of her athletes and strikes a great balance between having fun and being intense and encouraging us to be dedicated
