"All of my interactions with CoachK have been positive. She truly cares about her athletes and their overall well being. She cares to the point that she struggles to be direct enough with her players and gives too many chances to kids who just don’t have any talent. Is coach K the smartest coach on the field? No. Does she have great game management? Not always. Does she care about her athletes and listen to their feedback? 100% yes."

"Outstanding coach and human- Coach K’s character is exceptional and Davenport is very lucky to have her. Her deep understanding of the game and her background as an outstanding player enriched our team dynamics. Coach K’s dedication to the sport and to us athletes was evident, and she always maintained a realistic approach to our development. "

"She strives to see hard work being put into the program! She holds out reasonable standards and holds everyone accountable to them! These standards don’t just make winning programs, they build character for when you retire from softball itself and you’re out on your own! She understands the game well because she has played it herself! I respect her a ton because of her high expectations and standards! She will push you to become the best player you can be, and support you through every step, you just have to be willing as a player to allow it to let you grow! Not only is she a great coach, she is a great human being! She treats her players like human beings and not just someone who can get them a championship! She remembers what you tell her, whether it’s personal or something random you want to share with her! A personal story was when she was in the process of recruiting me, we had a phone conversation back in March. I had mentioned something very specific about my dog at the time! Fast forward to September, 6 months later, she had asked about my dog and mentioned that specific moment as if it were yesterday! It made me feel like I wasn’t just one of her players and got lost in the crowd! She remembered something very distinct and that is just one of the many stories I have about Coach K! "
