"Being a coach in conference it’s appalling and disgusting that Davenport University has allowed Ronda to take over a program that two great coaches spent their heart and soul building. Truly sickening and a tragedy to college athletics. My heart goes out to the student athletes persevering through this hard time. "

Dedicated To Players Direct Creates A Great Team Culture Disorganized Poor Communication

"I’ve overheard Rhonda talk bad about her players. For an AD she comes across as frumpy and scrubby. Mean lady with a dirty mouth. Has had a bad reputation in the Grand Rapids area since she was in high school. "

Dedicated To Players Direct Creates A Great Team Culture Disorganized Poor Communication

"I’ve never seen such an insecure, weak minded coach. Everything is about her and her ego not the team. Tearing people down, especially if you’re “female” is this one’s specialty. Out of touch with coaching and basic fundamentals of the game. The comments she makes are snarky and mean. She will belittle you any chance she gets and I think that’s what fills her small, black heart with joy. Davenport University has allowed this woman to run a mockery of the athletic department. Not a good role model for female athletes. If you send your daughter here she will most likely try and set her up with her son. My daughter is on the team and that’s one of the first comments she heard this woman make. Not professional. "

"A truly terrible woman, softball coach and mentor. Claimed to be a mentor for a few student athletes to use them and attempt to be cool. Feel sorry for all the poor girls she’s trashed on JV & Varsity. As a parent this fall I not only heard her scream from the sidelines but watched her yell at a kid so bad she started crying. What a great representative of Davenport. "

"Does not care about the mental health of the players she is coaching. Just stands there and doesn’t even coach. As a parent it’s sad to watch. "
