Springfield College

"She knows this is a business. She will sell you this school hard, even put down other schools that are recruiting you to get you. This is true for most coaches, however, she is not as caring as she seems. The moment you struggle (whether it’s academically, mentally, or even physically) she tries to get rid of you. The team culture –honestly the whole school– is built upon cattiness and tends to be very exclusionary. Her coaching can be intense for some depending on which high school, but it’s a classic run everywhere, dropped passes = running, etc. etc.. Overall, she knows a lot about lacrosse and she knows how to get you on this team, but the moment you are there she won’t support you."

"Coach Long initially seems to care about players but quickly chooses favorites. She gaslights players and then will pull you out to punish you. She is self absorbed and expects everyone to give her praise for being an amazing coach that she thinks she is but isn't. When the team is winning she is happy, but if you lose at all she has anger issues that are not appropriate for a coach. She can act immature and passive aggressive. She is not approachable and will not consider your needs if you go and talk with her about any issues. Players secretly talk of being afraid of her and knowing she can be MEAN. I am sorry that I wasted my time playing here. "
