"Coach Powers gives players a good first impression. She comes across as a knowledgeable coach who cares about players not just being great on the field, but also in their personal lives. Once you make the team, though, the real Coach Powers comes out-untrustworthy, says one thing but does another, puts her favorite players on the field (not necessarily the best players), demeaning, moody and sometimes just downright mean. Is she organized, yes. Does she know the game, yes. But she will reward players who are terrible teammates (bad mouth fellow teammates behind their backs) and not the best players. She will tell you if you make an error, you will be off the field, but if you're a favorite, you can make many errors and nothing ever happens. You never know which coach will show up to practices or games-the supportive coach or the angry coach. She is also not supportive of her players' education-telling them that practice/games come before award ceremonies or graduation. Many girls have quit after their first or second year playing for her because they quit enjoying a sport they once loved. "
