"After reading these comments i can say that i definitely don’t want to write this review. To be fully honest, i left this all behind me when i decided to transfer out of trine. However, after seeing the comment about the girl who left after her fall semester, and coach D saying she didn’t have work ethic… makes me pretty upset. Personally, i wasn’t at trine long enough to experience the full horror that i’ve been reading in these comments. But, i can speak on the huge difference between the team i play for now and the team i played for my freshman year. i have never felt more supported in my life. the coaches understand me and my struggles and don’t take advantage of me for them. i can also say, i’ve never worked harder in my life for a team. i think that’s the problem at trine, you are just expected to be on a championship level at all times of the day and if you aren’t, then someone is yelling at you and no one is supporting you. i don’t work like that, and i totally understand that some people do, i’m sure some individuals love trine and love the coach. my problem with it, is that i didn’t know what i was walking into. the culture was honestly embarrassing compared to the culture i experience now. bringing a team together because they all hate the coach is actually terrible and i didn’t know that til i left and found something that was actually real. i don’t want to hate on coach D because to be fully honest i wasn’t there long enough to have hatred towards him. i’m glad he gave me an opportunity and i was able to make a decision for myself and transfer to a team environment i enjoy more. my advice to anyone reading this is to make sure you understand the environment you are committing yourself too. also, to not judge people for their own personal experiences. some people like coach D and some people have had truly traumatic experiences, and that’s not for you to judge :) "
