"It is very interesting that the last three ratings for Jill are 5’s. Anyone who plays for Jill, knows she is not a 5 star coach. Otherwise, she would not be out coached every game, each team figures her two plays and adapts to beat her in the third quarter. Commentators wouldn’t be asking where the leading feeder is, who was not played during the 2024 spring season. Jill’s emotional intelligence is a major weakness, crying in the locker room, then screaming at the girls and calling the girls mentally weak. Her behaviors are not productive and certainly not one of a leader. For parents who say it is the disgruntled parents of women recruited by the previous coach. Are you saying that it is ok for a coach to treat their athletes badly? No young woman should be berated, belittled or demeaned, regardless of whom they were recruited by. You should be asking your daughters how they are treated, how their teammates are treated? I assure you they will not rate Jill a 5. Maybe Villanova should open their eyes and educate Jill and her assistant coaches on how to respect and treat young impressionable women. "

"Jill is a phenomenal person, leader, coach and parent. She brings talented women together,in their most formative years, and demonstrates as well as teaches how to lead- through diversity, celebrations and defeat. The real world they prepare to enter will not always be kind and fair to them but parents should feel blessed that their daughters ( whether they are starters or not)- are given the privilege to see first hand what integrity, faith, and family looks like in action. Villanova is blessed to have Jill and her staff- and the teams are as well. Unfortunately some will only realize this much later in life!"

"Jill has a great way with connecting with people, pretty much you get out what you put in. She expects you to be your best on the field, in practices, games, and in life. I believe 3 or 4 times a year she has feedback meeting, stating what you’re doing well and what you can work on. Having this much communication with your head coach does not happen everywhere. Her job is win, so that means putting the best people on the field is crucial. So putting player vs player as other posts said was a bad thing. I don’t really have a problem with, you have to do that to find the player that wants it more. As for parent vs. parent I never really saw any of that, but then again it’s not about the parents. She is coaching young adults, teaching them as so and coaching them as so. She treats them as family. the big east scheduled a game the day before Easter and no one could go home to celebrate with their families, so she had them all over for dinner and Easter egg hunt. "

As a player, I am forever grateful for having been coached by Jill. She taught me how to be resilient, determined, and to always follow my passions. She brings the team to her house to celebrate events and holiday with her children and family. Jill views her team as family and strives for creating that culture of love. Jill is the best at what she does and I never felt as a player to question her integrity or intentions as they were always positive and for the better of the whole team. "

"Her style of creating player vs player, recruiting class vs recruiting class and parents vs parents is nothing more than deflecting everyone from looking at her own inadequacies, which is the root of all problems. To tell one grade she “hates” another grade is inexcusable. Demanding the team not speak to a player and “gang up” on anyone for any reason is nothing more than bullying by an adult in a position of authority. Mental health amongst student athletes is an issue at the forefront of so many programs, but to realize the person put in leadership is the one creating these dangerous and potentially life altering situations is beyond comprehension. Over half of the team seeking mental health support should be a red flag the University should not ignore. "

No one should ever be treated poorly, esp when some of these girls did speak their truth at some point during the season(s)….those who were courageous enough got shot down, their concerns never mattered to coach Jill. An effective, smart, adaptable coaching style goes a long way, she doesn’t have any of these traits. Many of the girls I am confident stood up for themselves, some didn’t bc they knew the results from those brave enough to come before them."

"Sadly any of the above stars start at a one star rating being the least one can choose…I would choose negative stars if possible. The key words above are useless in this “worst case scenario” review! No communication unless you are her pet ! SOME, not all pets are turned into moles to give her any info possible, what the mole(s) fail to realize is that it empowers a disgusting excuse for a coach to cause further division against the team. Jill’s main agenda is to divide players, she uses mental and emotional demoralizing tactics to “coach”. Not a place for any young woman to grow in her program, you, (your) daughter will be reduced to a shell of her former self. She does not sub talented players in, these sidelined girls are treated as useless in her eyes. Jill doesn’t deserve the title of coach, doesn’t deserve to be in a position where your words and actions hold any value. Run as fast as you possibly can to another program, transfer if you are there, save yourself, any program would be better than the one run by Jill Batcheller. Her athletic director ignores the blatant abusiveness, so no satisfaction there! If you (your) daughter wants to have a fulfilling career at nova lax make sure before she commits that the school sports psychologist isn’t overbooked! More than half the team needs him to get through daily abusive practices and games! Good luck if you are willing to roll the dice on this coach or her puppet assistants..odds are against you, so choose carefully if you want to risk your mental and emotional well being so be it! Hope if anyone is reading this they understand how Jill is a poor excuse for a human being! "

"I don’t think it’s possible for me to even put into words how great of a Coach Jill and her assistants Maddy and Kelsea are. She leaves every program, team, and player better than she finds them. Jill gives 100% of herself to make sure ALL of her players are doing well on and off of the field. Thinking back to when I first started with Jill, I struggled to believe in myself. A lot of coaches would have left me in the dust, but she believed in me more than I could ever have believed in myself. I know she does this for everyone. At the end of my career with her I am so proud of the lacrosse player but more so the person I have turned into through her coaching, mentorship, and support. The way she changed my life inspired me to go into coaching myself, hoping to touch other lives the way she changed mine! She is knowledgeable, passionate, kind, caring, honest, and everything and more. Every program she has been to, she has flipped the team culture into a loving and winning team. I feel so lucky to have been a part of it! THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!!!!! Villanova is in for a bright future with her leading the way!"

"Have an all state academic all star high school player? Villanova women’s lacrosse and Jill Batcheller isn’t for you or your child. Jill Batcheller has created a mental health crisis on this team and potentially derailed their academic future. Her toxic environment of pitting grades against grades, players against players and parents against parents is not what I anticipated getting for $74,000 a year. Her coaching style of publically and privately humiliating players questions whether she has the mental capacity for leading young adults. No studying on trips and booking flights for starters separate from “dead weight” B team is also shameful by her and the program/university *flights were available on both flights for everyone "

Telling the athletes no studying before finals- because they make it to the Big East. She pits these student athletes against each other, she is a toxic mean spirited woman. If she was in the business world her toxicity would not be tolerated, she would be terminated. When over half the team is at the school psychologist- there are some real issues."

"Jill is a poor representation of what strong leadership and women should be. She coaches with intimidation and retaliation. She is disrespectful to athletes and holds their educational pursuits (internships) against them. She does not get to know her players or their families. If you do not serve a purpose for her; she easily discards you. She uses players weaknesses against them and unfortunately her assistant coaches follow her lead and are not willing to stand up to her, especially when treating a player badly, lying, or ridiculing them. They are weak and do not bring anything new to the table coaching wise. Although the sport of lacrosse is a proponent of strong mental health for players, Jill is the epitome of a narcissist, never reflecting on her own actions as she instead tears players down. This is reflected in the fact that greater than 50% of the team requires sports psychology intervention. Unfortunately, her coaching knowledge is also limited as she is unable to make modifications when the going gets tough. She often is out coached during games as her strategies and plays are limited. Strong academics are also of no importance to her. She’s boasted about never having gone to class during her playing days. Overall, a very poor mentor for young women and an abusive coach. Not a thriving environment for young female athletes. "

"From a prior review - "She cast aside any athlete that she didn’t mesh with immediately" THIS explains it. If you can make her starting line up or first subs in, great. Play for her. She is knowledgeable and has clear success. If not, expect to be treated as second class without consideration. She would go over hours during the off season. Does not care about mental health (unless key player) or academics. Was reprimanded for a doctor visit without her consent, extremely inappropriate given practice schedule was respected. Did not contribute to preparation for the "real world" but rather left with toxic memories and gained self worth. Her assistant coaches are phenomenal though. "

"Do your homework, look behind the curtain before you commit. He is great during the recruitment process, charming and full of promises but will flip on a dime! My son and our family could write a book on the experience but suffice to say a player that played for an elite nationally top ranked club team, was coached and also individually trained by the best of the best (at there own request and recruitment ) where all speechless and beyond confused over the experience he had at Nova under Carlins leadership. He took a gifted athlete ; who had multiple teammates that would say themselves where far less skilled than he was but that went on to play for National teams and Pro teams. He systematically broke him to suit his own agenda. Carlin is not a strategic coach but he is skilled at achieving his desired outcome off the field. He played soccer since he was four years old and after Carlin and his shady tactics he has not put on a pair of cleats since. He never had intentions to play after college even though he was offered a Pro job prior to attending college. He could however have at lease maintained a love of the game and given the multitude of coaches and trainers from his teams/clubs, as well as opposing teams that would approach us to comment on his ability to read the game. If nothing else he could have taken that gift and passed it on via coaching or training. I will say parents watch the team(s) play of any schools you are considering, style of play is important to see if the fit may or may not work. I also recommend getting all correspondence in the form of a letter or email as he also had a habit of making convenient phone calls to answer direct questions rather than putting in on paper. I hope this helps someone else! "

She is also super smart with a unique outlook on life, and I love hearing her view on things."

"Fran is a great advocate for helping college soccer prepare you for the future. He heavily emphasizes the importance of good communication skills that can be used later on in the workplace. He can be very outgoing, entertaining and enjoyable to be around. Unfortunately, his playing career in soccer is very limited which translates into his coaching style. While he is able to identify what good soccer looks like, he struggles with seeing and properly correcting problems on the field."

"One of the things that was unclear about the recruiting process was the scoring squad. When the class of 2016 was being recruited, they were told that everyone would make the scoring squad but that proved incorrect. Over the past four years, the team has significantly grown specifically on the women's side. This year, the women's team will be comprised of 27 female swimmers and divers which leaves at least six swimmers off the scoring roster (if the three divers compete at Big Easts)."

She holds high expectations and expects you to meet them. Joanie is like a second-mom thoug... she wants to see you succeed and will be there for any issues that arise during your college career"

"I enjoyed Steve much more as a person than as a coach so this review is hard. Great guy, awful coach. For starters, I was never convinced that Steve really knew what he was talking about - or at least that he knew more than I did. For the two years that I played for him, he gave me one critique. And every single match I played, that was the reason for everything that went wrong. Imagine how frustrating that is, that no matter how hard I focused on it, or tried to fix it, it was the only feedback I'd ever receive. This wasn't just me, he did this for every player on the team. Everyone had their one thing. To me, it just seemed like he didn't get to know us, as players and as people, as well as he should have. He had to default to this one thing he knew of us every. single. time. Secondly, Steve is a very funny guy with a very laidback personality. Which is great, at times. This is more something that I would want in my best friend, not my Division I Varsity tennis coach. I think about the great coaches I had growing up and realize that they were all stern. All very nice, loving, supportive people but were demanding of me and pushed me to be better. Steve did not do this. For instance, when I played for him, he could barely run a lap around the court himself. He was struggling with his own health, and cared very little about ours. And subsequently this made me lazier and care less about my own physical health. Last, Steve had one rule: don't be late. Which I totally get, being on time is an important trait to have in all aspects of your life. But Steve has a no excuses, no bullshit, no nothing approach to it. Which is an extremely annoying thing to deal with - especially since he did not care or have any rules about ANYthing else. Life happens, shit happens, and sometimes no matter how hard you try, it's not your fault. I personally feel like he was ridiculous with this and there were MUCH more important things he could have used that energy towards (to name a few: work outs, diets, our focus during practice, our schoolwork and class schedules) than if someone showed up 1 minute late once in their entire career."

"I think everyone on the soccer team would agree that Carlin is not a good coach. His soccer knowledge is sub-bar and he has so much talent at his disposal and instead of uniting the group and getting the most out of his players he does the exact opposite. He does not know how to man-manage and thus he can't create strong relationships with his players and in return doesn't get the best out of his team or his players."

"Had some shady moments over my first two years, but overall turned out to be a good guy. I was a four-year starter so maybe that influences my opinion but I still communicate with him even two years after graduating. Definitely wish he knew a little bit more about the sport and knew more higher level coaches."

"Not the best coach tactically, he was good at motivation and helping you grow up as a person. Definitely helped me mature throughout my career but I didn't get the best coaching technically/tactically. Plenty of my other friends in college had coaches that were a lot worse some had better. Overall he's a decent fit for the program."
