This coach showed a lack of caring and commitment to the young women on her team. When a young woman was very sick, never reached out to make sure they were okay - only reached out to ask when they could play. This was a serious illness. Puts down players and messes with their confidence. I would never have my daughter play for her again.

From a prior review - "She cast aside any athlete that she didn’t mesh with immediately" THIS explains it. If you can make her starting line up or first subs in, great. Play for her. She is knowledgeable and has clear success. If not, expect to be treated as second class without consideration. She would go over hours during the off season. Does not care about mental health (unless key player) or academics. Was reprimanded for a doctor visit without her consent, extremely inappropriate given practice schedule was respected. Did not contribute to preparation for the "real world" but rather left with toxic memories and gained self worth. Her assistant coaches are phenomenal though.

Coach Jill really knows and studies the game. At practices, she is really purposeful and creative. She strives to create a positive team culture and provides players with lots of opportunities to come together. You can tell she works hard and she expects the same from her players.

She was incredibly disrespectful and didn’t even learn the names/pronunciations of many of the members of the team. She cast aside any athlete that she didn’t mesh with immediately and created a toxic culture from the start.

Pushes us to be our best without expecting perfection. Fosters a learning environment and truly wants us to be confident and succeed. No mind games, very straight forward.

She is a brilliant coach who knows the game very well. She pushes everyone to be their best and holds feedback sessions to let you know how you can improve. She does expect your life to revolve around lacrosse, and most of your time is about individual, team, and more team meetings.
