"Coach J is always there for her athletes. Her door is always open and she is willing to talk about anything you need. She is always excited to her players successes in the classroom, on the field and in life. She is honest in her assessment of your role even when it’s not what you want to hear. Roster size is big and she does her best to give athletes a chance to be assessed with live pitching throughout the season. She wants to win and cares about the process. In a short time she has made a positive impact on my life both on and off the field. "

"I would not recommend this coach. She is not kind, lacks empathy, and creates an environment that feels more discouraging than supportive. Young athletes deserve a coach who builds them up, not one who tears them down."

"Genuinely one of the worst people let alone coaches I’ve ever had the misfortune of encountering. The deep comedy of a morbidly, obese man telling me to lose weight. Also plays favorites to an insane degree, made me lose all of the love I ever had for swimming. "

"Inflexible and non social. Stays with her selected players regardless of their game performances. Rigid. Will not platoon or alter batting line up. Poor scouting. Poor assistant coaching support. Seems uncomfortable and defensive during off field player interactions."

"I’ve had high school coaches who showed more knowledge and leadership than she does. Her lack of understanding of the game and inability to lead are obvious, and it’s reflected in the team’s decline and players leaving. She fails to model strong female leadership. Instead of building up her athletes, she comes across as dismissive, defensive, and unwilling to take accountability. There’s little respect, little growth, and no real sense of support. If you’re looking for a program led by a confident, empowering female leader, this isn’t it."
