"Stripped all of my love for the game. She tells you what you want to hear, and if you are not a favorite, it's like you do not even exist. If you're a favorite you can make as many mistakes as you please, but if you aren't you make one mistake and you are out. She stripped me of every ounce of confidence I had and made me feel worthless."

"She is absolutely horrible. Makes up lies, if she don’t like you she treats you nasty. Very rude and makes rude comments. Talks about other players to players. Does not coach players she doesn’t like. Plays favorites and is the worst coach/person I have ever met"

Poor Communication Disorganized Old School Mentality

"Cat Clifford makes players want to quit softball. She gives no hope of team or individual improvement. She smiles and tries to appear nice and honest. Don't be fooled! She is vindictive and is known to lie. You never know what you are dealing with because she is so dishonest and unfair. She proudly plays favorites to the most extreme level. Everyone knows who her favorite players are and they get all the opportunities even if they aren't performing. She pretty much almost destroyed Manhattan College Softball with her tactics. The school was right to dismiss her. Her practices are HS level practices. "

"Cat Clifford creates an overall unfair, dishonest, and rather miserable softball program. Every athlete has at least a little desire to quit, and same for assistant coaches under Cat. She is terrible at communicating the truth. Makes up empty promises and it's basically like she's saying what you want to hear at all times. It doesn't matter how many times you bring up the same topic in order to work through it--she will not change her approach and will babble on about the most random things that don't even connect. Plays favorites like I've never seen before. VERY good at being fake. "

Disorganized Poor Communication

"Unfortunately she was my coach during college. She made my college experience miserable and I hated going to practice. I don't want anyone to go through what me and my teammates did. She is very negative person and hates all the players. She was mentally abusing most of the girls on my team and trying to manipulate them. She also doesn't have the competence and knowledge needed to be a volleyball coach. The practices we had were a joke. She has no idea what she is doing during practice. She never has a plan and is disoriented. "

"Fosters bad team culture and is a bystander to bullying on and off the field. Impatient, will get angry and yell at individuals or the team as a whole quickly in practice. Puts pressure on players instead of fostering a positive environment and encouraging them to succeed. Does not value her players' time. Many athletes quit or leave..."

"Bridget Hurlman, along with assistant coach Mary Holt, strip you of your love for the game. These women will bully you into making you think you are less than an ball player. They make you feel small, ugly, guilty of your own talent by breaking you down mentally and emotionally. It is a shame what Hurlman does to her players. Please go elsewhere. "

"Favoritism, people can miss practice and still start, holds different standards for people, if she doesn't like you you're never gonna get a chance unless it is to set you up for more failure so they have an "excuse" not to play you again. Headcoach and assistant coach are selfish and don't care about their players they only care about themselves "

"Dishonest. Only cares about herself. Treats staff poorly (doesn't like the trainer so she doesn't let her travel with the team) and only plays favorites. She is never around. Very lazy. Does not help out URI or its community. Does not take responsability for her actions. Very mean and blows situations out of proportion. Overall, terrible. "
