"She is actually pretty good at recruiting, but after that part of the job is done, every talented player starts playing worse after being on the team for a couple of years. She doesn’t know how to recognize the weapons of the players or how to develop their weaker sides. She has been caught lying to pit players against each other multiple times. Cannot stand any criticism of her coaching methods coming from the players. She picks favorites sometimes based on who the better players are, other times based on personal preferences. Players on the team are treated as if they are disposable goods, for example, by creating an environment where seniors who are about to graduate are isolated from the rest of the team for multiple years in a row. Many players also end up injured as a result of unnecessarily intense practices and a lack of care for their physical and mental health. Penn State is an excellent school, and it makes me sad that people might not want to come here. But the reality is, something needs to change for the results and well-being of the players to be improved."

"I just finished my freshman year here at Penn State University on the women’s tennis team. She created the environment so competitive and unwelcoming that it was hard not to feel depressed and anxious. I would try and complain to the admissions department but they would only cover for her feeling me left very unsupported. She does not treat people fair. Manipulates you into thinking she cares. Not a leader at all, and really I struggled with depression so much because of her and her players. She created the environment so toxic. One example is we played against Yale. And at that time I was playing line 4 and the girl playing line 3 was cheering against me, as well as her mother and when I told head coach about this she pretended she didn’t see anything. "

"This coach creates a toxic, mentally unhealthy environment. She lacks real tennis knowledge and experience in developing players, breaks promises about professional tournament support, and actively undermines academics by encouraging failure as acceptable for athletes. She shows no regard for your well-being or mental health. Stay away if you care about your sport, your future, or yourself."

"Treats the girls as if they are pawns in a game, not humans. Only cares about you if you are healthy to play. Has no regard for anyone’s wellbeing. Doesn’t emphasize school at all and only cares about tennis. Recruits with empty promises that are never fulfilled. Provided zero help on the court, actually is detrimental at times with her comments. Only way to improve on her team is to tell her to not coach you. Lastly, she shows up looking completely unprofessional for travel and matches. "

"Worst coach I’ve ever had in my whole career. Would make a good motivational speaker but that’s about it. Doesn’t have any basketball IQ and cannot coach for his life. Filled with a bunch of false promises and is so unorganized. Everyone always gets badly injured in that program and his workouts do not make sense. He’s very egotistical and will say one thing and do the other. He’s also just so weird. He preaches culture but there is absolutely no team culture. There a reason he’s a losing coach. Like I said, worst coach I’ve ever had. "

"Quite literally changed my life for the better. Was very direct and forward about expectations and whether or not you were meeting them to your ability. Could be intense in her directness, but as long as you had the mentality that she was trying to make you better, you made the adjustment and moved on. Never held a grudge. Does not deal well with people who make excuses for lack of effort and lack of commitment. Wants to win, but also wants to support her players as people."

"The only positive thing I can say about this coach is that she knows the game of basketball just not what it takes to win. However she is disrespectful and could care less about your feelings and will destroy your confidence if you let her. I would never recommend this school if you’re an athlete. Good luck to those who are currently there trust me I do know what you’re going through I had one year with her. "

"The game has evolved past her abilities. Missy is a very poor communicator, never provide feedback on performance. Her only success has been with players that were here when she took over. She doesn’t like girls that play the game and can pass, she only appreciates the girl that drives down the middle and scores 3 goals, regardless that the same girl turns the ball over 8-10 times in the process which other team converts to goals. Assistant coaches all quit within 1-2 years…says a lot about the head coach."
