"I would not recommend this coach to anyone. I played with her for about three years. Each year kept getting consecutively worse until I had enough and ended up leaving. During the recurring process, she seemed very caring and passionate, but until I started school there is when I realized it was all a front. If you’re not one of her favorites then she will absolutely despise you. Doesn’t matter how good you are, if she doesn’t like you she will tear you down time after time, make practice/workouts/games miserable. She makes it known who her favorites are and will compare you to those individuals. She doesn’t necessarily care about individual grades, she cares about the teams GPA average. If the team has above a certain average, then she gets recognized and gets rewarded. I honestly cannot remember a single good memory from that place. The team culture was poor, there was continuous drama, players were not playing as a team, and the coach was in the middle of it all. She started making team bonding mandatory a couple times a week, I’m assuming to try to get everyone to get along? However, that got the team no where, really just added more drama to the mix. Honestly, I’m not even sure how she’s still a coach there she would only watch professional soccer so she would try to make her practices be set up as if we were professional players and then she’d expect us to play like that in a game and we absolutely got torn apart. It never worked in practice and I’m not even sure why she would think it would work during a game. Several players went to the AD with valid complaints and showed proof of messages and things being said about players and all she got was a slap on the wrist. This is all coming from personal experience! It took me 2 years after quitting to remember why I loved playing in the first place! "

"As a former player here, I cannot in good conscience recommend this coach to anyone. She was a bully to several players on the team including myself. The team culture was very messy to due her coaching as she had her favorites & had her players who she did not like (& she was not afraid to tell you those names either). As a coach she is extremely degrading, a very negative person in general. I honestly cannot share one single good memory that I have with her after playing there for 3 years. "

"Now he is the head coach at AUM. One of the greatest coaches I have ever played for. He will 100% push you to your limits because he wants the best version of yourself. Championship mindset."

" Terrible guy. Doesn’t care about certain girls on the team. Plays favorite "

"Ryan Thompson was a coach I wouldn’t ever want to experience again."

"Always an open door. Grew my passion for sport. Motivated me to train, work hard hard, but also find the right balance in life. I am a coach today because of him!"

"Lack of honesty, integrity, and morals. Intentionally lies to recruits in order to get players. Poor for the game of softball"
