"Coach Shotwell is the current PE and lacross coach at my school. She has made countless kids want to complain but i will say mostly evreyone is to scared to speak up. IN the past 2 weeks i have cried for an hour and she refused me to the clinic. She made us sprint a mile and kids threw up almost fainted and she did not do anything about it other then saying its our fault and we are not breathing right. My expirience was not being able to stand eyesight surrounded with black seeing stars pluged hearing and nauesa. I have told her what i felt and insistead on me to keep running. Some kids were not able to walk so they fell and she made the rest of her team run doubles which was so un fair because that ment they could not even get a water break. We also have a girl with docter diagnosed knee problems. Her mom has sent countless emails saying she should not even be running the mile so for sure not sprinting. This girl her knee twisted and she fell in the gravel and the coach questioned her falling the laughed. The poor girl had to be taken out in a wheel chair. And she does have knowlage on sports but the whole physical eduacation thing is not happening. She made me question evreything to the point where im to insaccure to step on a volleyball court. She does nothing but point out what you are doing wrong. And instaed of saying good job its do this or do that. I have scored an ace and she said that i did it wrong hoe i would have ruined the team if i missed anyway. This coach rather the motivates dicreases confidents in her players. SHe has shown me nothing but doubt in myself. And i get coaching but this is straight horriable. So many kids have gotten injured thrown up or just hated their sport after their class. I have a friend that was on the varsity lacross team as a 6th grader and she has scored so many goals bit instead of congradulating her she brought her down. Later we are going to go ask people around about what they think and their expiriences with her but this is what we have so far. " she asked if i was really on the volleyball team". " she really said and this is why we start with begginer level". " I had my cupcakes and thats what we call our period so that she knows we dont swim and she made us say it which made uo feel very uncomforball near the boys". And this is just a few of the many many raesons why we dont want other people to go threw this"

"I currently have Coach Melody. She has been putting us in a living hell and does not care about our health. She has made the kids throw up and not stop. I sprained my ankle and was crying for at least an hour, and she refused me to the clinic. In this past week, 30 people just from her class have been to the clinic. She's rude, picks favorites, and holds a grudge. We don't want anyone to experience this. She is a PE coach as well, and she made me lose my love for volleyball by making it all just what she wants rather than us learning how to play."

"I still have Coach Melody as my coach, and she does not respect her players. She often tells me to demonstrate skills I have never been taught or performed before. She regularly calls players out in front of the group and tells us to “do better” without explaining what we did wrong. If one person messes up during a drill, we are required to start over completely, again with no clear feedback or instruction. While she does have strong technical skills, her coaching style is extremely intense and discouraging. If you are looking for a practice environment where you can learn, grow, and feel safe making mistakes, I would not recommend this coach."
