"Nicole flores is the absolute worst coach and human being I’ve ever had to deal with. She went mute for 4 days following a loss, Vcu gave bonnie’s their first conference win since 2017, we lost so many games, and even had a meeting about why no one wanted to be there and all of the answers were pointing toward the coaching staff, even after all of this nothing changed. She is the most selfish coach I’ve ever had. After every loss she would ask people on the sidelines why we were losing or why the same people would make the same mistakes but wouldn’t change anything up. I would cry after every single practice and game and genuinely hated every part of lacrosse because of her. She ruined my lacrosse career and it’s safe to say she should pay for mine and everyone else’s therapy. "

"Absolutely horrible as a coach. While Nicole IS knowledgeable and passionate about lacrosse; neither of those traits make you a good coach. She plays mind games with players and purposefully destroys confidence. She doesn’t develop players. She is extremely selfish. Like, how does a coach not play all the seniors on Senior Day when you have a 6 goal lead with 4 minutes to go? Too concerned over winning meaningless games instead of taking care of your seniors. Talk about divisive! That display of poor leadership speaks volumes about the culture she has “fostered”. That lack of respect was noticed by every player on the sideline. Another review praised how Nicole took over a team with consistent losing records and that has continued with 2 more losing seasons. Some players are allowed to make the same mistakes every practice and every game and other players make one mistake and are benched. Add in that Nicole completely shut down and didn’t talk to anyone - assistant coaches or players or parents - for 4 days following a loss shows you how immature she is. Nicole has lost this team."

"Disrepectful. Punitive. Plays favorites despite ability. Team not conditioned and losing basic skills. Will tell you one thing to your face but not follow through. "

"Nicole is very passionate about the sport and growing the sport. She not only was able to take on a team that had previously had a consistent losing record with the past coaching staff but had also had trauma from the past coaching staff. She was able to take this team her first year of coaching and positively impact the players both on the field and off the field. She is very honest and direct so you always know where you stand, she does not play mind games or favorites like other coaches. "

"Nicole has a lot of knowledge of the game. She is truly passionate about lacrosse, which can make her a little intense at times, but she is just trying to share her passion and knowledge to her players. Nicole is completely different from the previous coach, and I feel has provided more skills than the previous coach ever did on the field. Mental health is also a big thing nicole is adamant, allowing mental health days to any and all players if needed, which is something we did not receive before. "

"He's good a recruiting but doesn't know how to coach. He likes you if you win but doesn't talk to you if you loose. He would tell the team on a weekly basis how stupid and lazy Americans are (he's Swedish) and why he never plays them. "

"You are going to work hard for Coach Elliott on the field and in the class room. He has certain (but reasonable) academic standards he expects you to meet. He is extremely particular about the little things (like how we look for practice/ games and running to the field from the yellow gate) which was huge for me during the recruiting process. Coach Elliott will be honest with you during the recruiting process about what he is looking for and what to expect from Virginia Wesleyan Softball."

"Coach Flores came into a tough situation, taking over a relatively new program where no culture had been established. She finally has the majority of her own players that she recruited and is building VCU lacrosse from the ground up. She is a tremendously knowledgeable coach who will start seeing the fruits of her labor very soon. "

"the positive comments regarding Nicole that rip the previous coach, who began the program, was loved by the players and families, respected by the coaching community and was he A10 coach of the year seem to have an agenda. Two completely different coaching styles. Multiple players were threatened when trying to enter the portal. Nicole is an adequate coach but has lost the team. Maybe when she recruits her own group they can buy into her coaching style. The problem with this program is the administration,"
