HonestCares About AcademicsDisorganizedIntensePoor Communication

As a parent, I would never question whether or not Coach Sasso cared about the kids. That being said, it was not apparent that player development was at the forefront of the program. Often times practices were at times that only one Caoch was available, therefore, not a lot of instruction was given throughout the year. Additionally, it did not seem like the facilities that the school has in place for the program were utilized properly to help the girls continue to improve and work on their skills. Wins and losses aside, it should be expected that the coaching and instruction would be at a higher level than what the girls received in high school.

Coach Sasso spends so much time and money on his players it’s insane. Coach does have moments like all coaches where he messes up AS ALL COACHES DO with play calls, pitch call etc. he’s human. I stand by Coach Sasso being the best coach to put AMC softball back on track. You see many teams having loosing records but also it’s on the school not having state of the art facilities and education as well that does not draw people to having AMC as their first top pick.

Cares About AcademicsDisorganizedHelps With CareerOld School MentalityPoor Communication

AMC itself does not care about women’s sports, and even though this coach has a losing record and negative feedback, he remains the coach. The coach is disorganized and usually takes things out on the players. He doesn’t know much about the game of softball and strategy so it feels like you are playing at a lower level than any other team. He clearly has favorites and it is obvious. The best way to secure a starting spot is by being a butt kisser which is extremely frustrating after he pretty much tells everyone they have a fair chance at playing. He also puts everything on the captains, even though he should really be the one doing those things. He does not create a good team culture and honestly doesn’t care about the culture at all. This coach does have a lot of connections and cares about players getting a good education but also is not the best person to run to if you feel like you are struggling. All in all, if you are okay with non-instructional coaching, backhanded remarks, and losing a lot, then AMC is the place for you.
