"As someone who played for Coach Willis a few years ago, my heart breaks reading these comments but it also feels relieving to know I wasn't alone. I was injured, struggling with my confidence, and just needed my coach to believe in me. I have never in my ENTIRE life felt so discarded and ignored by someone who calls themselves a "coach". And when you go to have a conversation about why you're not playing, be prepared to get the most round-about answer you will ever receive. I was excited to have a coach that cared, and instead I had to witness the most emotionally immature & manipulative coaching staff treat me and 99% of my teammates like garbage. Thank you Coach Willis for reminding me of all the people who truly mattered and shaped my softball career, because it was never you. Don't worry- if I ever have the opportunity to coach a group of young women, I'll make sure I support, coach, and mentor them the way you never could. I loved Bradley, but I'm sad you had to be a part of the softball experience. I hope someday you read these and won't let your narcissism get in the way of giving your past & present players the apology they deserve. "

"She is by far the worst coach I have ever played for and if you or a friend is going to Bradley University to play softball under her, tell them DO NOT GO! She is a manipulator and so self conscious and takes it out on her players. She doesn’t treat everyone equally and plays favorites ALL THE TIME. If you’re injured or not a starter just consider yourself no longer a part of the team because she and the other two knuckle heads will ignore you and act like you aren’t even there. Don’t even think about wearing a hood and sunglasses you will be called “unapproachable.” Never believe a word she says because she will only tell you what you want to hear. She ruined my confidence about myself and who I am as a softball player. She has made comments about my body, appearance, and who I am as a person. Do your research before coming here and ask the right people who won’t cover up their lies and bs. I was both a starter, a non-starter, and injured. I’ve seen every single side to Coach Willis and her knucklehead assistants and none of them are pretty. Do not go to Bradley if you are playing underneath Sarah Willis!!!"

"The worst coach that I have ever played for. Didn’t just make me hate softball, but made me want to quit the sport all together. Gives up on players so easily, couldn’t admit that she ever treats anyone badly, is extremely egotistical, waste of time to ever talk to her, and lacks any sort of empathy. So disingenuous and I questioned daily how she ever got a job as a coach. "

"gives up on you if you don’t perform, loves to hear herself talk"

"Gives up on players too easily Egotistical to a fault, hates being questioned and/ or proved wrong. Degrades players to "fuel" them Rarely genuine about anything, doesn't really care about all of the players or the team as a whole Late to practices Burns people out QUICKLY "

"1/5 stars 0/5 wasn’t an option "

"Literally awful. She’s insecure & portrayed it onto us. Degraded all the time too! "
