"I had a really great experience with Coach. She honestly helped me get through this season and encouraged me through all of my ups and downs. There were times when the season was hard, but she always pushed me to keep going and reminded me that I was capable of more than I thought. She can definitely be hard on her pitchers, but I never saw it as her being a terrible coach. To me, it always came from wanting the best out of each of them and knowing what they were capable of. She cared about holding people accountable and helping them grow, even when that meant being tough. I also think it is important to recognize that she had her own ups and downs throughout the season, and I do not believe those were completely her fault. From my perspective, a lot of the conflict came from the head coach not allowing her to fully help, coach, or support the team in the way she was capable of. It felt unfair because when we needed her the most, she was put in a position where her voice and coaching were pushed aside. And for the comment about smoking with her players that is 100% NOT TRUE, she never smoked with her players. Whoever said that is trying to keep her from getting any sort of future job and im sorry but it is completely false. Yes she was close with her players but not to the point where it was unprofessional. She was a role model to me. Overall, I’m thankful for the way she supported me, challenged me, and believed in me throughout the season. She made a positive impact on me, and I really appreciate everything she did. "

"She is dishonest Reeks of weed and smokes with players… just one Not a nice person Talks about players behind their backs Has favorites who don’t deserve the chances given You can strike out 8 out of 10 times and still get to bat while others never get a chance and she thinks that is great. A few home runs is not worth out after out She must have a degree in gaslighting she excels at it So save yourself and stay away She is supposed to be a pitching coach but we all had to deal with her ruined the team "

"Coach Steff knows softball, but is the most unprofessional coach I’ve ever played for. She talks negatively about the players behind their backs, with other players and Coach Nicole, who does the same.She is immature and is not capable of coaching at this level.She is extremely negative to the players. Instead of trying to give encouragement, she points out every mistake and never gives praise for a job well done. She seems to thrive on tearing the players down. She also lacks integrity. "

"Unprofessional relationship with players, gossiping with players about other players along with the head coach. "

"Young coach with a good future as a pitching coach. Has great playing experience which will carry over into her coaching career. Has some growing to do which hopefully comes with time. "
