"We have experienced many coaches through lacrosse. I can hands down say that Heather’s coaching style is the bottom of the barrel. As a head coach you need to be a builder not a destroyer. There is a difference in hard coaching and destroying. She is the latter. Lacks communication and direction outside of reminding the players how bad they are doing. She will ruin a players love for the game.
She is not capable of building team culture outside of her favorites. She over promises and under delivers. She provides lips service over coaching. When you have top talent wanting to walk away you have to look within yourself first. I believe that what she needs is to reflect. I think her knowledge is valuable. Unfortunately coaching isn’t all about ball knowledge and past playing experience. It’s about building young players up and shaping them into well rounded individuals that can thrive in a team environment. Thats where she misses. "
"There is so much to be said but to keep it short, run. She puts on a front during recruiting and runs her team off of fear and judgment. She has ruined many players love for lacrosse. If you are not a favorite good luck. "
"Heather is widely seen as a poor coach due to her lack of leadership, communication, and motivational skills. She often fails to support her players, rarely offers constructive feedback, and creates a negative environment that makes it hard for the team to grow or feel unified. Rather than inspiring confidence, her attitude tends to come off as dismissive or unapproachable, which makes it difficult for players to connect with her. Many team members feel unheard and undervalued under her guidance, leading to low morale and frustration. Overall, Heather's coaching style lacks the encouragement, respect, and energy that athletes need from someone in her position."
