"Not a positive-growth motivator. Pushes players by shaming them, punishing them, gaslighting them with unfulfilled promises, lies & false compliments, Says one thing, does another. Coach’s choice of words and actions underscore a very unhealthy mental health culture (2019-current). Players are also expected to keep quiet and told that their friends & family can’t be trusted with knowing what’s going on behind the scenes, and threatened if they do. Run, don’t walk. Not to be trusted if you’re looking for a positive d1 experience with a staff that truly cares about player development on & off field. "

"Horrible. Does not know what he’s doing. Thinks juco is the highest level of college athletics and does not know how to prepare you for success or transfer. Plays favorites. He’s honestly really sensitive but in a bad way. Can’t take criticism, gets upset with questions. Do not recommend. "

"Loved her off the field. In between the lines of I was manipulated as a player and a person. I worked hard everyday and never saw playing time. Parents, other coaches, and teammates always wondered why I wasn't playing. Favorites is her game, if your not one, you wont touch the field. She pushed me to my mental and psychical everyday. "
