"Very impersonal. Hard to believe she's able to recruit talented players. Very elementary coach skills and always seems to be outclassed when coach games. Have seen no accountability on her part during team losses but always very good at placing blame on players. Definitely wouldn't recommend playing for her. She takes the fun out of the game some girls have played for a decade."

"This woman single handedly ruined my entire love for the sport. She has been under investigation for player mistreatment after an incident where she forced girls to run in a lightening storm in an open field. She would run her players to a point of injury. She never cared about us, she only cared about whether or not we won and how the team looked. It was truly a disappointing experience for me that I am still attempting to recover from. "

"gaslights, manipulates, has favorites, doesn’t care about mental health, has a drinking problem, the possible worst person I have ever met, just straight up mean and kills the love of the sport in their players. At least two people quit every single year, some years it’s been up to 5. Has created an environment where players have to seek anxiety and depression medications. "
