"Moody. Didn't make good game decisions and strategy. Played favorites. Almost impossible to move into lineup even when others didn't make an impact. Appeared to have starters and subs already determined before first day of practice even if a Freshman. Thank God for the transfer portal!"

Knowledgeable Creates A Great Team Culture Great Communicator Positive Person Respectful To Players

"Where to start? Absolutely no concern for academics (literally calls school “stupid”) or fitness (what’s fitness?) Nutrition? Mexican before a game, ice cream after. Only D1 program where the only guarantee during the season is weight gain. Absolutely no opportunities for player development. Only Coach to disappear from the campus except for the 6am practices (see recruiting, below). Practices revolve around YouTube drills. Communication is nonexistent- be prepared to get a cookie cutter label which will stick like permanent glue in spite of all efforts to improve. Loves to blame goals and losses on individuals. Be prepared to never watch game film. Dishonest about his own experiences. Crazy how his stories don’t match a simple google search…. ZERO accountability expected. Show up late for practice? No biggie. Show up late for the team bus? That’s ok you’ll still start the game. Number one priority = recruiting, because retention is near zero since the player tolerance of all this behavior is about one season. "

"Not caring, not fair, divides the team, treats them like little kids when they are adults. Likes to talk about the mental aspect of the game, but seldom practices what she preaches. Only pays attention to the players that fit her narrative, uses those players to report on other players as she turns them against each other. She tells her players that they will have opportunities to prove themselves, only not to play them and further crush their confidence. "

"Disregards players health Makes the team go against one another instead of initiating a “team” culture Feeds into team drama instead of stopping it Discusses teammates personal info with the team Her Mother is a volunteer coach who is rude to the girls Makes up her rules for the team and changes them for each girl. Inconsistent. If your parent complains you get playing time. If you speak up or have a suggestion you get punished. Feeds them junk while on the road. Sheetz, fast food, and barely allows $5 a meal Please.. do your child a favor. They will not be happy ! No amount of scholarship money can justify the mental abuse on the team. "
