"Inspirational, but tough as nails, Monica Aldama is a coach you don't want to mess about with or disappoint"
Ben Church, CNN

Moulding, training, scolding, mothering and policing them all is their astonishing coach, Monica Aldama. She is loved, feared and respected by every student, as well she should be, and she smiles only when there is something to smile about. My days of even dreaming of being an elite athlete may be long behind me, but the goal of becoming even 1% of what Aldama is will never leave me. She is the first and last word in fairness, discipline and tenacity, and she knows each one of "my kids" to their very bones. For the first time in most of their lives, they have someone who demands the best of them and who will give the best of herself right back"
