"Picked favorites, if you weren’t a favorite you didn’t mean anything to her. However, I have some respect for her because she’s honest. "

"I knew going to college for athletics would be a major time commitment but throughout my time there, I put an extensive amount of physical and emotional stress on my body. I was able to grow my fundamentals and knowledge about the game. However, this was at the expense of my mental well being. Treated as an athlete rather than as a person, my experience as a whole negatively affected my mental health. Having a coach to player relationship wasn’t something I thought I would need. But since leaving Iowa Western, I have discovered how important that is and how much better my experience could have been if I had that. "

"Would not recommend. Chooses favorites, mentally abusive, if you are not a favorite, you are screwed. "

"You will like her if you’re her favorite. She did not care about players as a person. Also, did not get to know anyone outside of the field. She was very bipolar. One day she could be very nice and fun. The next day you would have to be prepared to have the worst day. She would stop talking to you in general if you get hurt. She did not even acknowledge you if so. Many of us could speak up on all the horrible things she did to us players. I feel like I did not develop as a player at all and only got worse from her coaching. "

"She is a very direct and intense coach. She cares deeply about the game but not about her players or there wellbeing. She doesn’t really bond with her players very much or want to have a good relationship with them. "

"Super knowledgeable coach. She knows softball really well, however, she's emotionally draining. If she likes you, you'll love her! But for a lot of people, you were just a player to her, not necessarily a person. I never really felt cared for as an individual, only an athlete to her. "
