“My team and the long breaks in between classes”

What do you like about Coach Quimpo:?
|
“Out of all the coaches I’ve had, she knows what she’s doing and talking about. She proves to each of us on the team that she knows how to play. I’ve never had a coach that made me actually go home to think or go over what I’ve learned in practice over and over again. She’s great.”
