Coach Tisdale is a coach who knows very little ab out playing the sport of lacrosse and coaches through fear. She wants her players to be afraid of her and is a bully on the field to players and officials. She also lies to and manipulates players in order to get them to do what she wants. She talks about player's private information to the team and pulls people into her office and asks them to gossip to her about teammates. She also encourages professionals to violate HIPPA in order to have power over her players and use personal medical information against them. She also treats injured people like their only purpose is to serve her every want and need during practice. Outside of practice, they are non existent and do not matter. She is very unfriendly to parents and family and will often allow very little time for team to see family members after games. She also picks special players who can do no wrong and have power over their teammates. If you aren't in her special group would will not play, you will not matter, and you will be forgotten. She also uses conditioning as a punishment and often overworks her players, giving them very little time to recover. In addition to this, she consistently violates the NCAA 20 hour per week rule. Although Tisdale says school and family come before lacrosse, that is not true. She wants to have control of her players lives on and off the field and will throw a rage tantrum if she is not able to do this. Overall, Tisdale creates a tea, culture where no one can trust each other, her team is miserable, and everyone is just praying for the season to end. The amount of players that graduate early or are on the track to do so just to get away from her should speak volumes. Not to mention she forced her team to fight a 300 pound marine at 4 in the morning while sounds of gunshots, women screaming, and babies crying played on the speaker (this was called the house of pain, one player fought the marine while others on the outside of the circle did grueling exercises). While one group was fighting him, the other was doing 100 yard bear crawls. For 3 hours. All after the night before the team was forced to do marine training for four hours (army crawling with chains, ropes, etc) until it got so dark out they could not continue. Fighting the marine was so intense, one player suffered a concussion and was out for 6 weeks. All while we were doing this, she sat back and laughed at her players who were visibly in pain. All in all, she was toxic at Central Michigan, toxic at Eastern Michigan, and will probably continue to be at Florida State. Good luck to anyone who plays for her in the future!
