"I played for this coach at RMU last year and the year we won the championship. We won that championship not because of the coach that would put toxicity between players. We won because we played for eachother. She is not fit to coach a division 1 team. She is a mean cold hearted person that says she cares but she doesn’t. She has her favorite players and plays only them She violates NCAA rules all the time along with her assistant coach. So do yourself a favor do not commit to RMU, no matter what they promise. They are sharks , there is no team culture. Her goal is to put players against eachother. I now coach in a travel program and would never ever let any of our players play for RMU at her helm. "

"One of the biggest issues is blatant favoritism. It was clear that certain players got special treatment, while others were ignored or overlooked. This created a toxic environment that hurt team morale and made it difficult for us to grow and improve as a team. There were also serious ethical concerns, including inappropriate relationships between coaches and players. On top of that, the coaching staff frequently talked about players behind their backs to other players, which only added to the negativity. Instead of offering constructive feedback or genuinely working to help everyone improve, the coaches focused almost exclusively on one player, leaving the rest of us feeling unsupported and disregarded. The coaches were very unorganized with gear and film for games, which disrupted our preparation and performance. Their moods were unpredictable, they could be happy one moment and then suddenly turn stone cold the next, which was really scary and unsettling for the whole team. To make things worse, the assistant coach often showered and changed in the locker room, making many of us uncomfortable. They also pushed us so hard in conditioning that people were literally throwing up, and then acted surprised when so many got injured and we kept losing games. Our offense and defense were totally unorganized, no one really understood what the coaches were trying to say, and everyone was confused all the time. Yet, they still blamed the losses on us not being bonded as a team, which just didn’t make sense. Overall, the lack of professionalism, fairness, and organization made it a very unpleasant experience."

"Coach grove is an excellent sales woman. She’s able to craft a lovely picture of life at Seton Hill while being part of a “top notch” team. However, once you really get to campus, you’ll find that she pins players against each other, conditions players until they pee or barf on themselves, and belittles any player that suffers from confidence issues. She ruined the sport for me in more ways than one and I hope that whoever reads this takes it into deep consideration before committing. Truly assess what the school offers, and compare with your goals for post graduation. If you like the sport and are a great athlete, I promise you’ll find better opportunities outside of SHU. Please, save yourself the trauma & find a program that will make you feel safe, respected and included."
