"Picked favorites and stuck to them when it came to the lineup. Gave very little coaching to the players that actually needed the help. Preached hard work gets you playing time, little effort will have you on the bench… that was not the case what so ever. Gave very little verbal praise to players. Majority of the time, her favorites were the most problematic girls on the team and their actions were able to slide because of it. Could not admit her wrongs and was not able to take criticism well.

"She was always playing games mentally with the players. She would say one thing to a player then say another to someone else. Good coach when things are going good, and a different when things are going bad. "

"She is not a great recruiter, so her teams tend to drop off after 4 or 5 years. As a result, many positions are not filled with quality players. Overly defensive minded to a fault. Not a good coach for mid-fielders and forwards. Many key players don't like her communication style, and they lose the love of the game under her teams. She is a good defensive coach."
