CNU needs an immediate and full investigation into Lisa Valentine and her toxic culture and environment. She is emotionally and verbally abusive and gaslights players regularly. She creates anxiety and fear on and off field, abuses her touted depth chart routinely to create confusion and mistrust amongst teammates instead of fair assessments to motivate, and lies to players and families during recruiting. Every reason she’ll give your daughter as to why she wants her on team, she’ll twist and breakdown and eventually say the exact opposite of what she needs from them creating mental chaos. Regularly speaks about parents to players in an unfavorable manner despite families doing all they can to support team and athletic department both in volunteerism for team needs and financially. Has very little knowledge of the game, has no in-game adjustment strategies other than benching players punitively, blaming only players for losses/losing during a game and frenetically cycling players into games. The team got to ncaa championships on their sheer talent alone and not for her “coaching”. If they had an actual coach they would have gone further. How she is still employed by CNU is beyond words. The ONLY thing she can be credited for is recruiting athletes that are talented, kind and who are highly motivated in their academics. It’s a shame they all end up trauma bonded. How many years is this going to go on? CNU athletics does a good job at social media for teams and their facilities are very nice. The trainers and support staff are wonderful. The academic support is also very strong.
