"AN incredibly selfish person who puts her needs and desires over the team. I have been told one thing to my face and something completely different happens. More than once. She is insincere and erratic. Promises during recruitment didn’t happen. I love my teammates and will stay and work hard for them. "
"She is a miserable person and a divisive leader. Close game management is poor and she does not adjust. Her aggressive and intense personality makes her unapproachable. Another year with a losing record. "
"Nicole really has to go. She is not supportive of the team. No leadership or mentorship on or off the field. I went to her with a problem and was blown off. Not important enough for her attention. It affected multiple players. I felt she should help us but she didn’t want to or care to help us. "
"Such a sad ending to a career. Nicole was disrespectful tome, my classmates, my family and out fans. My senior day was an after thought. My senior teammates didn’t play. There is no tradition, no culture, no family at VCU. I began my career in a cocoon of team. Ended it in an Emily valley. "
"VCU is having the worst season in program history starting 1-6. Nicole has lost the team. No Covid fifth years returned. None! What does that say. These players were starters that could have helped the team and worked on post graduate degrees. Not supporting the players on or off the field. "
"I read the instructions and should probably not post because I cannot keep it constructive or paintbrush. This woman needs to go. NOW! She has poisoned the program. Endangered the students with her mental games. She has poisoned a team and created a malignant environment. "
"Nicole flores is the absolute worst coach and human being I’ve ever had to deal with. She went mute for 4 days following a loss, Vcu gave bonnie’s their first conference win since 2017, we lost so many games, and even had a meeting about why no one wanted to be there and all of the answers were pointing toward the coaching staff, even after all of this nothing changed. She is the most selfish coach I’ve ever had. After every loss she would ask people on the sidelines why we were losing or why the same people would make the same mistakes but wouldn’t change anything up. I would cry after every single practice and game and genuinely hated every part of lacrosse because of her. She ruined my lacrosse career and it’s safe to say she should pay for mine and everyone else’s therapy. "
"Any positive review is definitely nicole Flores rating herself. One of the worst leaders and human beings I have ever met. Nicole should consider an occupation that doesn’t involve interacting with any people"
"We are back on campus. Nicole was not welcoming, same cold approach. I don’t know if she doesn’t like coaching or doesn’t like us. Either way she needs to go. "
"I hate her, really, hate her. Ruined my college lacrosse experience. I played, that wasn’t the issue. She is a miserable person who made my experience miserable. "
"I have been in touch with the VCU staff during my recruiting process. I was encouraged to go there by both Nicole and Maggie. Now that decisions are close they will not return my calls or emails. I told my club coach and she told me they have dropped me from their recruits. What? They told me I would be great and good at VCU and the school was in my top two. I am frustrated they were not honest with me. "
"She is not direct, non communicative is more accurate. She ruined our team and playing experience. We are losing on the field and off. Go elsewhere! "
"I finally decided to speak out. Nicole ruined my college lacrosse experience. She is nasty, and vindictive. I was recruited by the previous coach and loved her. I tried! Really tried to give Nicole a chance. She is awful and do not play for her. I quit the sport I love to get away. "
"Absolutely horrible as a coach. While Nicole IS knowledgeable and passionate about lacrosse; neither of those traits make you a good coach. She plays mind games with players and purposefully destroys confidence. She doesn’t develop players. She is extremely selfish. Like, how does a coach not play all the seniors on Senior Day when you have a 6 goal lead with 4 minutes to go? Too concerned over winning meaningless games instead of taking care of your seniors. Talk about divisive! That display of poor leadership speaks volumes about the culture she has “fostered”. That lack of respect was noticed by every player on the sideline. Another review praised how Nicole took over a team with consistent losing records and that has continued with 2 more losing seasons. Some players are allowed to make the same mistakes every practice and every game and other players make one mistake and are benched. Add in that Nicole completely shut down and didn’t talk to anyone - assistant coaches or players or parents - for 4 days following a loss shows you how immature she is. Nicole has lost this team."
"Did not speak to her team or coaching staff for 5 days after a loss. Disrespectful and immature. Not professional. Ruined every ounce of team culture VCU had."
