"She loves coaching I will give her that, but when it comes to knowledge and understanding of the game and strategies that will work for the personnel on the team, the coaching staff lacks in proper execution. There is heavy favoritism that you will see within a month of playing for her. She is honest, though once she has a thought in her head about you there is no changing it. I personally feel as though I was one of the hardest workers to have gone through the team and consistently showed my dedication and hard work off the field, but was unable to sway her in my favor. I was apart of this team for 2 years and began the transfer process, before I was able to complete the process she cut me. The 2 years I was on the team were genuinely the worst 2 years of my life, I put my body through hell and fought the feeling of never being enough because of the way I was treated on this team. She consistently emphasizes the importance of fitness, but is contradicted by the lack of on the team. Another thing to highlight is a question I asked her during my recruitment process which was, “How many girls transfer out of your program,” she said one in 10 years. Through my time on the team I learned that question was the wrong one to ask and I should have asked something along the lines of, “ How many girls stay on your program from freshman year to senior year?” As noted in one of the previous reviews you can see that she is heavy on cutting culture, cutting 2 or more girls a season. I do not believe this makes a healthy team culture. ANOTHER THING TO NOTE IS MENTAL HEALTH DOES NOT MATTER. I was cut the Friday before spring finals began and have friends who were cut Monday before fall classes began. I whole heartedly believe that you should do more research before deciding to play for this program and also evaluate how badly you want to play college soccer because from what I have learned there are many other D3 toxic women’s soccer programs that also do a great job at hiding their coaching staffs true colors."

"Never seen a collegiate coach so calm and collected on sidelines. Prepares her team during practices and lets them play. Refreshing not to see a coach screaming and hollering all game. "

"Deb is without a doubt the best coach I ever played for. There is a reason she is an NFCA hall of fame coach. She understands the game better than anybody I’ve ever met. She is always looking for ways to improve despite already being great, and she holds herself and her team to a very high standard. Deb is tough, but fair and caring. She would do anything for her players. I became a better player and a better person because I played for her. "

"My experience with Mindy was not the best. I never felt like she really liked me. She definitely has favorites on the team. She would keep girls that couldn’t complete fitness test while cutting girls that did complete it during preseason I got hurt and was on crutches for a couple days and then was cleared to play the day. I got cleared to play the day I got caught in her reasoning was that the freshmen were taller than me even though it was the same height when she recruited me in the first place, on top of that my freshman class be at 12 girls and then our senior year ended up having three girls from the start at one transfer and it’s a continued cycle because my freshman year the senior class had I believe 14 girls and only three girls ended up completing the program. another time when I was stretching, she stood over me and said to me this isn’t the experience that you thought you were going to have huh and I just replied not exactly but I’m learning a lot because I didn’t know how to respond in that time"

"Most disingenuous person I’ve ever met. Doesn’t give a damn about his wrestlers and is fake as they come. Also hates anyone with poor mental health. If Ithaca wasn’t such a great school this dude would have no success. He also only makes money cause his coach gave him rental properties and he mooches money off students."

"We could not be more pleased to have Coach Wah coaching our daughter. She is genuine person who runs an amazing program. Creates an environment to develop and succeed on and off the field. "

"School of hard knocks while genuinely caring about players"

"Passionate on what he does"

"Rick loves the sport of gymnastics more than anybody I've ever met but it will take me years of therapy to get over how I was treated on that team. "

"Coach Wah is one of the most passionate and caring people I have ever met. There is no better duo than her and Coach Mo."

"So motivating and pushes you to be the very best you can be!"

"Coach Batson is an incredibly knowledgeable coach who really does his best with each individual player. He takes his time with each athlete and is very direct and helpful. He is a great guy and an even better coach."

""

"Coach Raymond cares for his players like we are his own children. He is a very smart coach and knows the game very well. I admire how he has stuck with IC for over 20 years dedicating his career here. He is pushes you to be your best because he is good at seeing the potential in everyone."

"Struggles communicating with players about issues off the field. Tends to favorite certain players. Cares more about the outcome of the game than how her players feel emotionally and mentally. "

"Coach Nichols is an unsympathetic and unkind coach that overtrains his athletes. Nichols considers athletes that can’t run due to injury as not part of the team and gives them a hard time for being injured. He doesn’t care about his athletes as people, as they only appear as a product to him. All he cares about is winning but makes it harder to win"

"Cares about me on and off the track Embodies team mentality Organizer coach"
