"If you ask anyone about this coach they will all tell you the same thing. Run. Awful experience overall messy disorganized and most of all dishonest. She has no consistent tendencies in the way she coaches making it an unstable and toxic environment for all players involved. "

"Knowledge of the game and the fine details in skill development are unmatched. Coach cares about players as individuals. Some take advantage of this. Coaches beyond the game. Very passionate. "

"Is a hardworking coach and sets the team up for nothing but success. She’s able to motivate her athletes and bring them up to a new level."

"Kayla Kregel as a coach has many sought-after qualities in how she coaches. She is not only a great coach to have in your corner, but a great person to know. Of her redeeming qualities, though, there are a couple negative traits that mustn’t be ignored if one is to train under her tutelage. Kayla is excellent at informing athletes on nutrition, the importance of recovery, being a charismatic head of the team and engaging with many athletes. Kayla, however, is not amazing at the fine specifics in sprint mechanics that can elevate an athlete to the next level, and even worse, not understanding workloads and how injured athletes react to said workloads if not fully recovered. Generally speaking, one might claim that Kayla is an amazing asset for runners who specialize in the distance of 400-800 meters. For the short sprinters, while she does develop one to be in great shape, work on projection angles and frontside mechanics, she neglects the toll that her current (as of 2022) training regimen takes on sprinters. She commonly favors long, high volume workouts. While this is sometimes a good thing to do, she typically assigns the wrong workouts at the wrong times in the week and/or the season. These incorrect assignments lead to many injured athletes, which she seems to either gaslight into thinking they’re fine, or flatly insist that they can still run. Thus, the cycle continues; incorrect workout assignments (or too much volume) followed by gaslighting an injured athlete, athlete becomes injured (or more injured in this case), gaslighting ensues. This is the ultimate downside of Kayla Kregel’s coaching. Being the best she can be is a massive priority for her, and none of these things are done on purpose, for she is not a bad person. From her perspective, she may have little choice if her whole team is knocked out, but alas, it is the position she will put herself in. These things can certainly change, but as is, high-tier short sprinters (aptly put, those running below 11 seconds in the 100 meter) should not be submitting to Kayla Kregel’s coaching. Furthermore, I can genuinely say that she is an overall good coach. Simply factor in all these things before committing to a program run by her. "

"He is a dictator, childish, doesn’t control his emotions, and only look for his benefit."

"Coach Conley was always willing to go the extra mile for her players. She saw potential in her athletes and always wanted them to grow as people and players. Very focused on team chemistry, and also very knowledgeable with her past experiences as a higher-level athlete. A great coach and mentor who truly cares about each person on her team. Always looking to improve, and has an open mind to also change as the game grows."

"Coach Conley is a coach that I would want my daughter to play for. She comes from an amazing softball background and knows what it takes to win on and off the field. Winning is important and without a doubt she knows how to do that. While that is important I think the most admirable thing she brings to the field as a coach is preparing young women for life after softball. Being a student athlete is extremely challenging and often coaches can focus on just winning. Coach Conley cares about her players emotional and mental health at a level most coaches should aspire to. Softball will come to an end but life doesn’t. The real challenges appear in the real world after softball and Coach Conley does an amazing job at preparing players for that part of their life. I would have my daughter play for Coach Conley no questions asked. "

"Highly would not recommend. This coach is very manipulative and tells you what they think you want to hear instead of the truth. They are also very focused on the division of softball they played and how they can use that to make themselves feel more successful than others. This coach also finds every way possible to tear down players as athletes and people if they do not fit their agenda. They have talked badly about players to other players on the the team multiple times. And anytime and concerns or issues are addressed the individual is yelled at until they apologize for even bringing up concerns. -1000/10 would not recommend. "
