"I played under Coach Roser during my senior year at Rollins College. Before Coach Roser, the culture at Rollins was toxic and unstable. Coach Roser was hired in October (only 3 months before the start of season) with 14 players on the roster--7 players being graduating seniors. Everyone started from scratch, including her; you had to earn your spot regardless of your name or your previous stats. In those short three months, Coach Roser prepared our team for an incredible season--a season in which we made it to the 2022 Regional Tournament. Before Coach Roser, I had decided against using my extra two years of eligibility (Covid) due to the horrid environment that the previous coach had created; however, as I told Coach Roser in my exit meeting at the end of season, Roser created and established an environment and culture that I was sad to be leaving. Had I been physically able to continue playing the sport I loved, I would have in a heartbeat because I wanted to play for her (Roser). In my 22 years of both playing and coaching softball, I have never met someone more willing to get their hands dirty and do the hard work with their players (some practices she left sweating more than we were). I can say with utmost sincerity that Coach Roser is as good as they come. I believe that in order to know how far you can go, you need to be pushed beyond your limits. Coach Roser saw our potential and pushed us to get there, especially when we didn't believe we could get there ourselves. Coach Roser will push you, and there will be hard days, but everything she does is for the team. If you can't handle accountability and hard work, Rollins is not the place for you, nor is Coach Roser the coach for you. Coach Roser is caring and approachable, and she understands the values of her players. I had a family emergency in March of my senior year. Without hesitating, Coach Roser told me to go home and be with my family. I declined, but it meant everything to me that she encouraged me to spend time with family. Many college coaches out there would not have suggested this, but she did. Coach Roser values family, integrity, and grit. I graduated almost 4 years ago and I still have a great relationship with Roser. She is someone I look up to, someone I can count on especially now as a Head Coach myself. Her dedication to me and my success didn't stop after I graduated, it grew. She strives to see her athletes succeed both on and off the field. If I could have changed one thing about my college experience, it would have been for Roser to be my coach my entire collegiate career. "

"Here's the deal - college sports aren't for everyone. Is Coach Roser tough? Yea. Does she hold kids accountable? Absolutely, But guess what - real life is tough, corporate America is tough (especially for women), bosses are tough. She's getting our kids ready for LIFE, not just softball. She sets the expectations for the program and for players on DAY ONE every year with the idea that every year is a new opportunity for each kid to work hard every day to earn their way on the field. I don't think it could be more fair than that. All you can want for your kid is a fair shot to earn their spot on the field. I'm proud to have sent my kid to a school where a coach prepares them for REAL life and not a fairytale, because life after college is hard and people will have high expectations and guess what, that's okay! These kids will be equipped to handle it because of coaches like Coach Roser. "

"Not that bad honestly. Could always be worse "

"All around great coach that I’ve learned from!"
