Poor Communication Intense

"All of the players from last year and previous years' alumni have at least witnessed her abuse, emotional dysregulation, and manipulation, and most have been targets. As far as her knowledge of the game, she can't coach against a zone is just one example. She is under investigation for good reason."

Cares About Academics Fitness Is Important Intense Organized Knows The Game

"Coach Valentine is a solid coach. She consistently holds players to high standards on and off the field. She cares about academics as well athletics. She does not have a "warm and fuzzy" personality and her directness may be off-putting to some but she truly cares about her players. She is highly organized, sets high standards, and communicates expectations clearly."
