"As one of her previous players, I can accurately state that I did not improve throughout my entire athletic career with her as my coach. She had inappropriate relationships with fellow teammates and abused her power as a coach to put players down. Regardless of the fact that she is not a genuine person, her coaching tactics lead to numerous losing in conference seasons. She lacks feedback, positivity, and DRIVE to win. "

"Horrible coach. Legitimately made me suicidal. No one should ever have to play for her. Does not understand how to coach (or maybe she does and just chooses to coach poorly). Horrible coach, even worse person. DO NOT PLAY FOR HER!"

"She tries her hardest to keep a thick line between your coach and friend, to where she's not even a friend. She needs to work on her scheduling a bit, most things were last minute, we never knew our schedule. We just had to get used to going with the flow and keeping our schedule clear in case of last minute changes. "
