Worst human being to ever enter the lacrosse world. She has zero knowledge of the game and gets off on punishing players. Everything is a mind game and if she doesn’t like you she won’t play you all year to make you the example to the team. She created a toxic team culture and constantly pitted players against each other in the worst ways. So many injuries happened on this team due to her overtraining and punishment running. One time she even made us run 300s with our sticks over our heads the entire time and if a player was to drop their stick we would have to run another 100 yards. This is not productive conditioning, but a form of torture!! This is just one example too!!! I know so many girls who had to go to either the sports psychologist or actual therapy due to the result of her abuse. She absolutely ruined the game for me and I hope she never coaches again.

Christy Mitchell pits players against one another rather than building a team atmosphere. She constantly tells players that they are replaceable rather than helping them improve creating a very toxic environment. She picks her favorites at the beginning of the year and doesn’t change her line up even when others have shown that they are now better than her favorites. Christy will throw people in a game on the opposite side of the field from where they have been practicing and expect them to be perfect, when they inevitably aren’t she gets upset at them for not performing. She should not be a coach.

One of the most caring coaches I ever met who genuinely loved her players. She built a team with little to no money .She had a rough season plagued with injuries but did her best to stay in the game. I am sorry to see her resign. Akron lost a real asset with her.

Disrespectful to players and other staff that works with the team including trainers and strength coaches. Whoever thought she was a good fit for a division 1 program needs to get their eyes checked. She has zero knowledge about the game of lacrosse get her out before she runs the program deeper into the ground

How do I put negative stars? She is god awful and administration just turns their head the other way. She is emotionally abusive and manipulative to players and any staff members that the team works with. She does not care about the sport or development of athletes she just wants power and authority over 18-22 year olds. Major narcissistic behavior, stay as far away as possible from Akron for your own well being

One start is still too many to give. Mitchell is the worse human on planet earth and the worst coach i have ever seen. She mentally abuses players, makes fun of them for their mental health struggles, and does not care about their overall well being. She has never played lacrosse a day in her life and is a disgrace to this sport. She is unorganized, manipulative, negative, ans creates a losing mentality around her program and pins the team against eachother. Get her out of the lacrosse world
