She lacks the coaching ability and communication skills to be a head coach. Although knowledgeable, she doesn't use it to help her athletes in any way.

Lacks communication. Shares knowledge with those that seek it. Not very encouraging, and will explode at times. Can be negative, mainly based on her changes in mood. Her mood changes affect our mood.

She comes off as a nice, young coach but then when you start playing for her you never know what mood she will be in. She picks out her favorites and if its not you then good luck having any fun around her. She has skills of softball (since she played), but not the best at coaching players to make the team better. Also she is very immature and petty. Does not understand that players are also here for an education, so she thinks that all our time must revolve around softball.

She doesn't stay calm in tough situations or help you fix mistakes. Instead she just yells. She has issues with communication and sharing knowledge about the game.

Needs to be better at communication. She knows softball but doesn't know how to put it onto the field. She lacks respect for feelings (personal) and emotionally driven in a negative way. She should be less selfish and control her mood swings.

Mood Swings. You never know what to expect with her emotions or decisions. Most playing decisions will not be discussed with you unless you go out of your way to ask why you aren't playing.

She has favorites and bad mood swings. You never know what mood she is going to be in. She doesn't make softball fun.

As mentioned in the previous rating, she does have lots of knowledge due to her years of experience. Intensity is also rated high, but that doesn't necessarily mean in a positive way. Her approachability, accessibility, general friendliness and communication skills all lack the effectiveness needed to produce a successful team.

Obviously she is qualified to as a college coach from her previous years as an athlete. However, her inability to communicate her needs and control her emotions has made it difficult for girls to respect, admire, or follow her leadership.
