"Do not believe anything this woman says. The handwritten notes are a nice gesture, but the truth is, she’s not a good coach. She can’t make in-game decisions and can’t adapt when the other teams make changes. She doesn’t create an inclusive atmosphere; instead, she creates drama and bullies the girls. She talks about the girls with other girls on the sidelines. If she’s in a bad mood, she makes the girls run. When they win, it’s because the attack played well. When they lose, she blames the defense. She doesn’t watch film, so she’s never prepared for a game. She tells the girls “my plan works”. Clearly it does not as they continue to lose! If your daughter has an opportunity to go somewhere else… take it and run! "

"In a time when women’s athletics is being elevated by leaders like Caitlin Clark, Ilona Maher, and A’ja Wilson, athletes who embody confidence, strength, and mutual support, this program feels out of step. Under Coach Berg, the culture appears to fall short of uplifting female athletes. Instead of building unity and celebrating each other’s success, the environment seems to foster division, where players are set against one another rather than strengthened as a team. There also seems to be a clear lack of open, constructive communication. When athletes don’t feel comfortable speaking honestly or supporting one another without concern for repercussions, it limits both trust and performance. Strong coaching should elevate and instill confidence, connection, and a shared purpose. That standard does not appear to be met in this program. "

"Jessica Berg’s performance as a coach raises serious concerns. From a competitive standpoint, the team’s staggering losses highlight a lack of preparation, in-game adjustment, and strategic adaptability. At this level of play, outcomes like these point to deeper systemic issues. More concerning, however, is the environment surrounding the team. Based on firsthand observation, there appears to be a significant lack of psychological safety. Players do not feel empowered to speak up, advocate for themselves, or communicate openly without fear of negative consequences. That kind of culture directly limits growth, performance, and long-term success. There also appears to be a pattern of dismissing or minimizing athlete health and recovery needs. When players feel pressured to participate despite injuries or without proper medical clearance, it not only impacts performance, it risks their well-being. A strong program should prioritize athlete safety, trust the expertise of medical professionals, and foster collaboration across the care team. Leadership in collegiate athletics extends beyond wins and losses. It includes creating an environment where athletes feel supported, respected, and psychologically safe. Without that foundation, even the most talented teams will struggle to succeed. It is disappointing that this culture has been allowed to persist, as it ultimately impacts the development, health, and experience of the athletes involved."

"Jessica Berg is unfit and not worthy of having the title Coach in front of her name. Her lacrosse and coaching knowledge is so limited that her team lost 0-22 against Maryville this season. Statistically, a DII goalie achieving a shutout is a rarity, occurring in less than 1% of games. During that game she made zero adjustments to her play calling and defensive strategy. It is baffling that with all of her access to film, stats, box scores, and scouting reports that she entered into that game so ill-equipped. To make matters worse, instead of focusing on her players after their devastating loss, she cried. A grown woman, whose full-time job is to coach, guide, prepare, and teach her athletes how to act in victory, and defeat, wept from embarrassment. There is a litany of examples of her lack of coaching competency, but the most egregious incompetency is the psychological damage and trauma that are a direct result of her “coaching.” I have witnessed first hand her toxicity. She refuses to accommodate and prioritize her athletes’ health. As a result, the team is plagued with injuries, multiple of them requiring surgical repair. Instead of listening to the players, athletic trainers, physicians, and strength and conditioning coaches’ requests to rest and recover, she chastises, belittles, and demeans her players through her snide, backhanded remarks, or punitive consequences for not being able to participate. She ignores protocols and forces her athletes to participate in activities they’re not medically cleared to do. She has cultivated a culture of fear. Fear of being punished for getting injured. Fear of being accosted by her passive-aggressive behavior. Fear of being ostracized for not engaging in religious practices she mandates before games. Fear of being gaslighted. It is an absolute disgrace that MWSU administrators have allowed hundreds of talented women to be subjected to her malfeasance. "

"Watched her completely destroy her players’ confidence and self esteem all in the span of one weekend. She never seems happy and it shows. She’s very knowledgeable of the game but doesn’t care about getting to know her players beyond the field. "
