"Disrespectful to athletes. She takes no responsibility for her mistakes. She only cares about winning, and not about the well-being of her team. Sets great team standards, but only requires a few of the athletes to follow them, meaning that her favorite athletes get away with anything they want. "

"From freshman year this coach belittled me, called me a liar, did not believe my mental health struggles, and would not allow me to put my academics first. I was told that I was “struggling” with my mental health just for attention. I was not allowed to miss practice for school, even when it was for an internship that I needed to graduate even though many other athletes were able to miss practice times due to school. I was told I was replaceable, a thundercloud, and that I was not the kid she recruited. This coach went behind my back to other teammates, coaches, and higher faculty to share false narratives. I have endless amounts of stories of how this coach treated me very poorly. I will say that the team environment is incredible and I was lucky enough to have a close and amazing relationship with some other members of the coaching staff. If it was not for my teammates and the other members of the coaching staff I would have quit the sport (transferring was not an option because I was told nobody would want me)."

"Joanna lies to her athletes and does not value their wellbeing. She was very unclear about expectations and my scholarship during the recruiting process. Several girls in the past four years have transferred out of ball state because of her. "
