She also creates a positive team culture."

"Coach is a good person who cares about the well-being of her players on and off the field. To help players succeed she has to try to uphold standards and expectations. Not everyone likes that or being held accountable. Some players want to play DI to say they played DI, some play college sports for the clout and swag. Some can’t handle failure and want to place blame on others. I’m putting this here to show how Coach is a good person. If you are looking to find out who Coach is or who other coaches are, visit schools and talk to players there, talk to coaches yourself and form your own opinion. If you don’t like a coach, find one you do, and play for them. If you have a complaint or concern with anyone in any profession or in life, handle it professionally and respectfully or say nothing at all. Even if your concern is valid, if it’s made anonymously it cannot always be addressed. "

"Winning record. Players who graduate. Athletes who get better. Young women who enjoy each other. College sports aren’t supposed to be summer camp. Not everyone is picked. And just because you start one year, or or one game, or think everything is as you want it doesn’t mean it’s best for the team. That doesn’t make a bad coach. It doesn’t create a bad culture. A coach has to think of the program, of what is best for everyone rowing the same direction. This site may be Yelp for coaches. Yeah, anyone can post. But good restaurants get more good reviews than bad. And, there will be many more positive reviews on Barb Weinberg. That’s because she is solid - as a person and a coach. "

"Coach Barb has been such a great coach and mentor for my daughter. She brings the team together, encourages them, gives them honest feedback to help them excel athletically and academically. My daughter has had a great college experience and when she is older, she will look back at her college years and remember the positive impact her coach had on her. We are very fortunate to have Coach Barb as our head coach. She doesn’t deserve the recent slander that she has been receiving from one former player. It’s quite upsetting that this one individual is allowed to slander and bully our coach. It should not be tolerated. We love Coach Barb! "

"The first time I met Barb during the recruiting process, I knew my daughter would be in good hands. We have not been disappointed and, in fact, Barb has exceeded our expectations. We have found her to be kind, supportive, attentive and caring. My daughter has excelled both academically and athletically under her guidance and she has proven to be a great role model. Like any college coach, her expectations are high. And like any college sport, especially D1, it's rigorous for the student-athlete. But through it all, she has been able to create and maintain a positive team culture. She cares for all of her athletes beyond the field, providing support for everything from nutrition to mental health. The girls love her and her retention rate is very high. Thank you, Barb! "

"Barb Weinberg is one of the most caring coaches I have ever had. She has worked extremely hard to incorporate mental health professionals and dietitians onto the staff of our team to help players that were struggling. She constantly is checking in with her athletes and has built an amazing team culture. I have played with her for many years now and I am lucky to have gotten her as a coach. Addressing the recent slander Barb has gone under, it is important to note that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and emotions. With this, it is hard to decipher what is the truth about the information that is being told. It is clear someone is very upset and they are saying things out of spite and hatred for Barb. Their feelings are valid, but keep in mind the place that it is coming from. I fully stand behind Barb, the person she is, and the decisions she has made. WE LOVE YOU BARB!"

"As a parent of a student athlete that has had Coach Barb all 4 years while at UMass, I have to say that the coaching experience has been fantastic. Coach Barb has been extremely supportive and has continually checked in on my daughters mental and physical health. Coach Barb has been extremely supportive. She provides positive feedback and gives ideas for growth as a player as well as a leader on the field. All players that enter D1 college athletics understand that they will have to earn their spot on the team and continue to grow and develop in order to remain on the team. Any college athlete knows that they are not 100% guaranteed a position or a spot on a team. I believe Coach Barb gives great guidance and feedback on how to be the best possible player and teammate and what actions can be taken to improve performance. Coach Barb has been very instrumental in my daughter’s development and college experience, both on and off the field. I couldn’t think of a better coach out there."
