"Jonea was an extremely challenging coach to work with. I have never experienced a coach who treated my teammates and me so poorly. She often displayed a harsh and unsympathetic demeanor, making comments that were not only unprofessional but also deeply personal. She frequently shamed individuals for various reasons, including their appearance, behavior, relationships, and friendships, often seeming to speak with the intent of causing distress. When we raised our concerns with the athletic director, our complaints were dismissed as exaggerations, despite providing evidence. We even requested that they observe a practice session to witness the behavior firsthand, but they declined. It appeared that they were aware of the situation but chose not to act, possibly due to financial constraints preventing them from terminating her contract. When I suggested fundraising to assist with her removal, my idea was met with ridicule rather than consideration."

"My experience with this coach was really disappointing and didn’t meet my expectations at all. Practices didn’t have much structure, and it felt like there wasn’t a clear plan to help us develop our skills or improve as a team. She wasn’t very involved during practices either most of the time, she just stood on the sidelines without offering feedback or helping players who were clearly struggling and asking for guidance. Injuries were handled poorly, too. Even when players were told by doctors to rest, she still expected them to participate, which made it feel like our health wasn’t a priority. On top of that, she made comments about players’ appearances, like body composition, which created a really uncomfortable atmosphere. She wanted everyone to stay under 20% body fat for a “healthy lifestyle,” but then we were only given fast food like Cane’s and Domino’s. How is that supposed to work? The assistant coach wasn’t great either. There was even a time when the beach team was given moldy bread, and when they didn’t want to eat it, they were called ungrateful. On top of that, OVER 15 players transferred in just one season, which says a lot. It’s honestly crazy that they’re still keeping Jonea in charge. She doesn’t seem to care about anyone but herself."
