She’s a horrible coach and doesn’t care about fairness at all. She has favorites and everyone knows it. She treats individuals differently based on their experience and also talks shit about players on the sidelines while they’re playing on the field. She also builds a very toxic and unwelcoming environment for people.

I did not particularly enjoy my time playing for Cassandra, as she will have her favorites and tended disregard everyone else. You will ride the bench at practice if you are not one of the favorites. I felt as though I wasn’t given the opportunity to learn and grow as a player. I feel it should be a coaches job to elevate your players, and I did not feel this from this coach. She would ask advice and opinions then shut us down if she didn’t agree. She would talk a lot of positivity then create rather toxic situations that were then put on the players. She also does not coach the game as it is evolving. The team seems to be stuck on the way the sport used to be played rather than adapting as the game has grown. The communication and practice schedules were changing just about daily, so it was very stressful to manage a busy schedule. It has been very sad to watch the number of turnover of girls to cycle through this team.

this coach asked for extra drills and ideas as well as player experience to help develop her team and ideas and instead took these opportunities to tell players who shared that they were pessimistic, rude, and did not respect her authority. she has a complex about being toxically positive and she’s honestly like dealing with a high schooler- everything you say gossips around the team even if it is personal. She kicked a teammate off the team due to her going home mid-season since said teammate’s dad had a severe heart attack and almost died.

DisorganizedPassionate About CoachingPositive Person

Doesn’t know enough about the game to be coaching college. Does not listen to her players. Toxic positivity - no matter what is going on you have to be positive. Practices are very low level.
