"I’ve never been apart of a team were the coach creates some much distrust and lack of loyalty. It seems the athletic department doesn’t listen and is happy with mediocrity. Lacks loyalty to his players he rights them off never coaches up but only coaches out"

"I would not recommend playing for this coach. She has knowledge and passion for the game but never directed it in an effective way. In no way did she have a connection with our team. It was very much coach vs. the rest of the program. She did not know how to connect with us. We knew nothing about her personally, and she thought knowing one of our hobbies was equal to knowing us outside of volleyball. No one on our team really respected her, because she continuously gave us reasons not to. People on campus didn't like her either. She was not good at the whole people thing. Was she the worst person ever? No. But there were numerous times where our team could have benefited and gone the extra mile if we had someone who we wanted to play for. But no one did. She was the most organized yet disorganized person I have met. She just tried really hard to focus and fix the wrong things. It was never efficient. Her corrections changed by the day, which was very confusing for our team. One day she yells because your feet are too wide; the next day they're too narrow. One day she yells becuase she thinks you're not engaged, the next it's "you're too much". Everyone was walking on eggshells, and it was hard to naturally be yourself. Questioning what you were doing all the time was a common way of thinking my team adapted due to her unstable coaching methods. She just was not the leader we needed, and we suffered because of it.

Direct Knowledgeable Cares About Academics Develops Team Beyond The Field Great Leader

"Coach Long was an excellent coach for me. I am realizing now, a few years out, that she wasn't just pushing us to be our best selves on the court; she was also preparing us for real life after college. She is a coach who always expects more of you and is very direct with what she wants and doesn't want. In the recruiting process, she was very honest about how her coaching style was, so I knew what to expect. She has many years of experience to back up her wealth of knowledge about the game, but you could see each of the 4 years she was tweaking things and trying new things to reach the team we had that year and create the culture needed. This includes mentally and physically. Her athletes mean a lot to her, and she puts the effort into to athletes to excel not only on the court but also in the classroom. She also held meetings often to go over performance on and off the court, and that is where I feel like she really prepared us for real life, as I got used to critically evaluating my performance and getting better at what to expect come performance review time in the workplace. I couldn't recommend her more to student-athletes who want to grow on and off the court."

"Its hard to score him when you don't believe he rates even a 1. Not a players coach you go to the school (which he school is good by the way) but you go there to enjoy and play the game you love and find yourself treated unfairly and turning on the game. for the student athlete you've run up a tremendous amount of debt. you know going in the cost of an education there but at least enjoy the game you can't get that promise under the current coach. They will always be a sub 500 team with him and you the school will lack that student athlete that will give back to the university because very rarely will a full class of incoming players stay. I am shocked the administration hasn't seen this by now. "

Poor Communication Respectful To Players

"hard to trust coach comes across as though he is supportive but he loses his luster after a few weeks on campus. he seems to tag you early on not making the effort to coach and support. my choice to go to queens was the family message, location and opportunity the campus provided. family went out the window pretty soon..my decision cost my family alot of money being a private school.so disappointed!"

"if you're reading this as a potential future player look for any other opportunities you may have rather than play under oliver. lacks loyalty to his players. demeanor them in front of teammates. fails to make adjustments during the game. if you are parent don't put your child through the agony of playing with him. he tends to lead athletes on and heavily plays favorites to certain players. very disappointing."

Intense Old School Mentality Poor Communication

"I transferred to another school due to the toxicity that was brought with the program. They very much have the mean girl mentality with sharing the same interest as them. Nobody takes responsibility and blames everything on others. If she says she cares about education she really doesn’t along with the rest of the team. If you want a positive atmosphere DO NOT COME HERE, they just complain about everything and everyone. If you are injured or get injured under her she will give up on you and will never ask how you are doing or even care if you are making progress because she already plans for you to sit the bench or to leave. After going there, I had to receive counseling for PTSD because of how mentally and verbally abusive the whole program is. Mental health is “not real” in this program so SAVE YOURSELF! "

"as a parent you trust the coach that sales family is true to their word, and that they buy into your child and support them. this isn't the case at queens. he doesn't work to support the student athletes he gives up on them quickly, especially freshman. he forms an option early on and gives up on them. as a parent I couldn't have been more disappointed. now days you can't share your feelings with administration or the coach they label you as that parent that is too involved and complains. I wanted my kid to be coached, I'm ok with tough coaching but don't quit on them, tell them you no longer want them around when they showed up for every practice and worked hard on the field when they were allowed to get on the pitch. a great school ,but needs a.better ambassador for soccer"

"Worst coach I have ever had. Made me not only hate lacrosse but hate my life when he was my coach. He has no clue how to coach women's lacrosse. He chooses favorites and only plays his favorites, even if they aren’t the best players. While the rest of his talented team sits the bench to rot and not improve upon their skills. In practice the majority of the reps were given to the players who actually played in the games. The most disorganized coach I have ever seen, showed up late to practice and messed up several of our game times, meals, meetings, etc. Also missed many scheduled phone calls with recruits due to this organization. I wonder sometimes how Coach Jason Levesque even got this Division 1 coaching job. Considering that he has never coached women's lacrosse before. He doesn’t know how to treat women and drove out 4 assistant coaches (women) in his 3 years at Saint Bonaventure. He once made me cry so hard in a meeting that I had a panic attack and showed no remorse. He also made our team manager, who did everything for us, quit. Do not, I repeat do not, hire Jason Levesque "
