"As a student-athlete, I came into this program with high hopes..to grow, compete, and be part of a team that valued both development and integrity. Unfortunately, my experience under Hannah was not that and her true colors showed once I decided to leave. I thought that I was going to be supported but I was not. From the start, communication was inconsistent and often manipulative. I was told I would be advocated for and supported in my athletic journey, only to later find out the coach had spoken poorly about me to other coaches, something that was not only hurtful but damaging to my future. This kind of behavior is especially concerning coming from someone at the beginning of their coaching career, as it reflects a serious lack of professionalism and integrity. I was never given a clear or honest evaluation of what I needed to improve, and the feedback I did receive often contradicted itself or felt like mind games. Favoritism was also evident throughout the program, and it created a toxic environment that made it hard for many of us to trust or grow. Ultimately, I made the decision to transfer, along with other teammates, starters, because we knew we deserved better. A coach should build up their players, not tear them down behind closed doors. I wish I had felt the support I deserved, along with my teammates. "

"Coach Hannah became the interim head coach this past fall, and has made her players lives revolve around her attempting to solidify the head coaching job. Her insecurities with her lack of coaching experience can be seen by her talking down to those around her, especially those she sees as a threat to her. You better not give her any feedback as a player or else she will hold a grudge against you. As a Winthrop alum, I have witnessed Hannah’s ego first hand. She is extremely entitled and coaches to be in control, not because she is passionate about her players. She also does not get along with fellow coaching staff members, especially women. The team culture is promising but this was already established prior to her arrival. She will benefit from learning under an experienced leader who puts her in her place and shows her humility "
