"negative environment-makes players do her work-not a good culture-players have left because of it and the team just wants a good experience. "

""im a parent too and I can tell you Coach Mueller is an easy going, kind, intelligent man that cares about the players. I understand when your son doesnt play or is cut from the team hard feelings come, often times problems arise from our frustation."

"This program destroyed my mental health more than it ever built me up as an athlete. Alex constantly blames players for the problems within the program while using “mental health” conversations as a way to manipulate, twist your words, and put you down. Instead of supporting athletes, those conversations leave you feeling like you are the issue every single time. In the last 6 years alone, she has reportedly been “investigated” at least 3 times, yet nothing ever changes. The administration continues to protect the program instead of addressing the damage being done to players. The positive reviews feel completely fake and forced. Reviews are literally seen printed out on the athletic director’s desk, and suddenly the next day positive reviews appear online to bury the negative ones and cover up issues the school clearly does not want to deal with. When over 20 girls quit the program and the response is that it’s somehow a reflection of the players themselves, that only proves everyone’s point further. Numbers are facts. That many athletes do not walk away from a healthy environment for no reason. The environment Alex creates, fosters, and the school administration allows further proves they do not value their athletes as people, only as replaceable. What makes it even worse is that because Alex works in mental health, she knows exactly how to use her words to manipulate conversations and constantly twist yours until you feel like you are the problem. This was the worst experience I have ever had in sports and something I will carry with me long after softball."

"It is a DISGRACE that she is still coaching. Not only is she mentally and emotionally abusive, but creates a toxic environment for young women. She manipulates young girls into thinking they are horrible humans. Has even gone to the extent to call her team “alcoholics” and “binge drinkers”. WANTS to be involved with social life and stalks the every move of players, including payment and credit card transactions via Venmo. Players are put into therapy and put on medication for the damage she has created on them and their families. Creates divide between players and families. Belittles young women and doesn’t instill confidence. Players are scared to speak for the fear they will be intensely punished. Not to mention the fact there is absolutely ZERO coaching skill. Players have had success because of their talent not because of her. Players tend to get benched with no explanation and if the team loses, the blame is put on others. Players are trauma bonded. It is sad to watch this all happen and for nothing to be done. It is time for CNU to make a change. "

"Lisa Valentine needs to be fired. She gaslights, manipulates, lies and is inappropriately involved in players lives. She targets girls within each grade and will relentlessly embarrass them. She claims she loves team culture but can’t hold herself to that standard. She is very calculated and will insert herself into players private lives through stalking. She has created a toxic environment where players feel scared to do/say anything wrong. Claims that she uses a depth chart to create open communication between the players and coaches but it is a mind game and doesn’t stick to using it for games. It is sad CNU has allowed her to coach here this long and has not investigated the abuse players are enduring. Disregarding the off field insanity that is happening on this team, she is a bottom of the line coach who does NOT develop players. She only cares about accolades and stats but will reprimand players who talk about their stats. She refuses to allow players to grow within their skillset and pigeon holes them into elementary skills. She is a harmful presence to 17 year olds coming into college. This is not something that should be overlooked, there needs to be a change or else more players will leave traumatized. Not to mention OVER 3 players quit a year and many players are put on medication due to anxiety and depression from the toxic environment. "
