Terrible communication throughout the entire recruiting process, although it increased prior to camps but once they were completed she had no follow up in place even though her instructions at ID session was to contact her for the next step. She was not very welcoming, the camp session was a waste of time and money! The experience was enough for me to eliminate what appeared to be a great school from a school I’d like to attend.

Disorganized Poor Communication
I am convinced the players that Coach Erin ghosted are 10x better than the kids she brought on, and that’s coming from a Tampa player. She manipulates and ghosts recruits like no other and thinks she has one of the best teams in the SSC when each year we progressively get worse and worse. Maybe this year she can prove us all wrong but it’s no coincidence she has a low rating… and recruits don’t deserve to get lead on and ghosted by an adult. I’m a former player on the Tampa squad and have had recruits talk to me at ID camps and I straight up would tell them she is known for ghosting girls and that I wanted to transfer. Transferring was the best decision I could have made for myself and Ik some of the girls who quit don’t even regret it. I loved Tampa but the soccer program here is just the worst.

Disorganized Fitness Is Important Old School Mentality Poor Communication
Erin is a coach who puts on a front for recruits but is toxic to her players. She has her own favorites and doesn't let others see the field. Also, she runs a VERYYY disorganized program. The program could start winning more if the coaches actually utilized the University of Tampa and its athletic facility. Or even if the coach actually cared about all her players.

Old School Mentality Poor Communication
Worst coach I’ve had in my career. Uncaring, cold, little to no tactical knowledge of the game, just running and kicking the ball long. Told me that I would never play at a high level, that I should just stick to academics and forget about football. I’m now playing my 6th professional season in one of the top leagues in the world, so that should say something about her assessment of players. Toxic person on and off the field, gaslit many players on the team because she can’t take accountability for her own errors, just completely different than the front she puts up during recruiting.

Not sure how this coach has a 3.6 but let me be real for everyone.This is the worst soccer coach I have ever had. Not even sure to call her a soccer coach or more of a track/military coach. She does not have compassion for anyone, and should not be a coach.Yes fitness in soccer is important but there comes a point where you need to play with a ball

She isn't who you think she is. She is a good coach and very passionate about the game. However, being recruited by her and playing for her are two completely different things. How she acts infront of parents or family memebers is not how she acts infront if you or the team, those are two completely different people. The fitness is crazy, it does help in the game but the way she gets us fit is not fun, AT ALL!! It is all just running to make crazy times while people pass out, throw up and cry

Erin is overall a good coach. She is very passionate about the sport; if you want to win, and are willing to sacrifice everything, she will be a good fit. Get ready to run! She loves her fitness...but it does help in the game. She is very intense on the field, but very approachable off the field. She does not like surprises, so make sure you are very honest. Overall a challenging coach on the soccer field, but it is worth it to get results.
