"I would strongly encourage anyone considering this program to take a very close look before committing. My experience with Coach Zimny was not a positive one. It felt like she formed opinions based on what certain players said rather than taking the time to actually get to know each athlete. There was little opportunity for open, honest communication, and attempts to have conversations were often shut down or avoided. There were also situations where concerns about players were discussed with players, which created an environment where it was difficult to trust leadership. From my perspective, mental health was not taken seriously, which is a major concern in a college athletic program. While Coach Zimny presents well to parents and recruits, the day-to-day reality felt very different. Her coaching style often involved anger, cussing, and yelling. Although she clearly understands the game and has strong strategic knowledge, the way she communicates and treats players overshadows those strengths. The environment did not feel supportive or motivating. Instead, it often felt judgmental and discouraging, which made it difficult to perform at your best or feel valued as a player. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that prospective athletes speak to current and former players and do thorough research before making a decision."

"Disrespectful and will tear you down! Do not recommend playing for her and the girls who stay are only there because of money for school! "

"Coach Zimny thinks she knows it all along with her coaching staff. I’m not sure how her players have fun when a coach is yelling at umpires or her assistants. She’s even had assistants walk off the field. She doesn’t care about her players mental health and thinks it’s a joke. I really don’t know how she is employed "

"Coach Zimny is just flat out not a good coach to play for. Point-Blank was one of the worst coaches i have ever played for. She only cares about upper class men, and is weirdly obsessed with players weight. she claims that mental health is a myth and expects everyone’s mental health to be 100% every day. overall, stay away from this program, or anywhere coach zimny goes."

"Coach Zimney is a far cry from a softball coach. She is a control freak that thinks she needs to be the center of attention. She will be littles players into thinking they are the problem when it is her. She will never admit she made a bad call or play decision, but instead blame the players for not trying hard enough. She has lost countless good players to her attitude and tantrums she throws. She is not a leader, she is a poor coach, and players should stay away. She has very little knowledge of the game of softball. Stephanie is a horrible person and Indiana Tech should come to realize that she needs to go to save what little of a program they have. "
