"My daughter was a recent 4 year student athlete under Coach Boswell. She will be your daughter's most influential role model during her 4 years and I could not ask for anyone better. Coach Boswell is always available to your daughter, on and off the field - the players are an extension of her family. She expects a positive attitude, hard work ethic, and dedication to the team as well as one's own development on and off the field. Her expectations are appropriate for a D1 program and the student athlete she develops will be a well rounded woman that is competitive, disciplined, a fluid leader and follower, a team player that will excel in the real world, and someone that has a high EQ. These skills will serve your daughter in her future post graduation. "

Direct Accessible Intense Fitness Is Important Old School Mentality

"Much of the sophomore class is leaving. Some because they don't want to play lacrosse any longer, some because they want to play at a lower level, be at a bigger school, be closer to home. Some are leaving because they weren't getting the playing time they thought they deserved (or their parents thought they deserved). HPU has one of the best dining plans in the country and athletes take full advantage. Yes, she encourages healthy eating, more protein, less crap. When recruited, players are told that to keep their scholarship, they have to perform, just like at every other school in the country. And no, I am not a coach. If recruits want the truth, then they should talk to the girls who are on the team, not the quitters' parents. Coach Boswell is direct and she will push these girls to get more out of them when she sees their potential, just like every other division 1 coach. "

"I played for Coach Boswell and all of the values and expectations she had when she first started. The program are still true today. She cares deeply about her players on and off the field. She offers programs like yoga, vitamins, and ministry to support the student athletes. Coach Boswell is direct. This can be uncomfortable for people since they are not used to hearing what truly needs to be said. This is coming from a player who didn’t “start”, but I was given feedback and took that to earn my playing time and became a top contributor. "

Direct Accessible Intense Fitness Is Important Old School Mentality

"A primary indicator of a program’s health, culture, and ultimate effectiveness is how many players leave and why. The HPU women’s lacrosse team is losing 20 players this year. All but 3 players in the sophomore class are leaving and 10 out of 15 in the freshman class have either been cut, are leaving because their scholarships were taken, or are choosing to transfer because they are unhappy. Coach Boswell’s coaching style is an unfortunate combination of desperation (with a singular focus on winning the Big South Championship), and intimidation. That combined with her ignorance of proper nutrition for athletes, and rejection of proper training and recovery parameters set by the NCAA put players’ mental and physical health at risk. I implore anyone who is considering sending their daughter to High Point to run in the opposite direction. I wish we were alerted to the toxic atmosphere and instability of the program before committing. "

Direct Accessible Intense Fitness Is Important Old School Mentality

"This coach creates a highly controlling and unhealthy team environment. There are consistent concerns about manipulative behavior and a lack of honesty with players, particularly during the recruiting process. Players have reported being told their scholarships were secure, only to later have financial aid reduced or taken away—often due to injury or subjective evaluations of performance. The coach is also known to overstep personal boundaries by monitoring players’ screen time and closely tracking their social media activity. This level of surveillance feels invasive and contributes to a culture of discomfort and mistrust within the team. Additionally, there are serious concerns regarding player welfare. Reports indicate that athletes have been placed on restrictive diets, raising questions about the promotion of unhealthy habits. Injured players, in particular, appear to receive little to no support. Instead of being cared for during recovery, some have been cut from the team or penalized, with minimal communication or concern for their well-being. If you're injured, you might as well just be on your own. There are also concerns about how former players are treated. Individuals who leave the program are often spoken about negatively, which can create a divisive and uncomfortable team culture. For example, during a game against a team with a former player, the coach questioned whether current players should even be friends with that individual. Behavior like this discourages healthy relationships and fosters unnecessary tension. More broadly, the coach appears to foster division within the team by turning players against each other, which undermines trust, damages team chemistry, and creates a toxic environment rather than a supportive one. Overall, this coaching approach lacks transparency, support, and respect for athletes, making it a negative experience for many involved. I would never send my daughter there.. and if yours is committed, find other options asap."

"Chris Fox is probably one of the most manipulative and abusive people that I have ever come across in my entire career. He caused numerous eating disorders, forcing his players to weigh themselves before and after every practice in front of the football team/ each other. Then use the weights to berate them in their meetings. Go watch some of his games, check out the amount of cards (many red) that he has had called on him. Listen closely. He’s getting thrown out of the game by the referee for telling his OWN PLAYERS how worthless and horrible they are, among many other profanities. He made his players submit a numerical response ranking every teammate from a score of 0-10 on how good of a person they were, then would broadcast the scores and tell the girls that other girls ranked them where. He didn’t let 5 year dedicated or healthy athletes play on senior night, and broke HIPPA guidelines CONSTANTLY. Literally would tell the whole team incredibly sensitive female information pertaining to teammates. There were many girls who ended up in Physicatric units, and plenty who developed irreversible issues. It’s sickening that a guy like that could have access to females in the way that he does. Not to mention the love notes that would be left for him by players on his white board in his office with hearts… strongly correlating to them gaining playing time, at the same time that he lived in the women’s soccer dorm building."

"It’s easy to see she’s one of the good one. She coaches for the right reason. She cares about her players as people first and foremost. She isn’t the kind of coach you get for 4 years, she’s the kind of coach you get for life. She makes the game fun, she holds her players accountable and makes the hard work you put in enjoyable. She’s the kind of coach you can go to to talk about course strategy, struggles with life or if you’re in need of a good laugh, a solid one liner. She believes in you enough so that the days you don’t quite believe in yourself, hers makes up for it. Anyone would be lucky to play for her. She’s definitely one of the good ones. "
