There are some comments on here that seem more like personal attacks. From what I have heard for two seasons, good coach just a volunteer so cant be there every day, but understandable as she has a family. Seems passionate about the sport and the teams success.

Felt pressured not to stand up for her by horrible teams at old program. She did what she could against a toxic clique of girls. They quit the team so we didn’t have enough to play and the school was closing so there was nothing we could do. Any other coach would have turned down that team. Both our coaches are in better places at the D1 level now and seem happy, she was/is a great person and I appreciate the opportunity she gave me even though I didn’t get to play. She still supported me for my future. Everyone that did want to keep playing went to more competitive schools.

Coach Mettler has been so supportive throughout my experience. I know the school she was at before she stayed when she knew the program was ending due to a closure. She absolutely cares about us and supported us through a time with a really bad coach. She stayed an advocated for us to get a great one even though she is working as a volunteer. She went above and beyond. She is a great person and a great coach, just competitive and pushes us to our full potential. She is probably better suited as a Division I coach than in the situation she was in before. She is a very strong person and has always been beneficial when she is present.

She is very direct, extremely unorganized, during the whole fall we bearly conditioned and didn’t learn much. She has her favorites and if you’re not one of them then you are playing in practice. She never tells us if we are doing a good job and is constantly rolling her eyes

She has been good so far. I wish there had been more willingness to stand up for what was right with the previous staff, but now that she is supported by a stronger staff, things seem to be moving in the right direction.

She has been on staff through two coaching changes, but as a volunteer she has not been around consistently. Because she coaches the goalies, that lack of consistency has made it hard for them to get steady feedback and real development. When she is there, she is positive, encouraging, and genuinely helpful. However, last year when serious issues were happening in the program, she stayed quiet. I understand the power imbalance and her volunteer status, but the team needed adults to speak up and advocate for us, and she did not. Overall, she seems well-intentioned, but her limited presence and silence during important moments made her impact much smaller than it should have been.

If I could rate coach Mettler nothing, I would. But, the experience I had with this coach ruined my career forever. She is by far, the worst coach and human I have ever met. Her ignorance blinders her. She is guided through emotion, and anger. The title of “Coach” shouldn’t even been her title. Her arrogance ruined many athletes love and drive for a sport. She speaks unkindly to her players and says awful things about the players family. She is greedy and not worth any athletes time. At a certain point, a person must let go of their past, and move on. I’m afraid she will be forever hung on her past as a player. Sad.

DisorganizedPoor Communication

Was my coach for three years and created drama every season. Seems to be emotionally unstable, would tell us it’s okay to make mistakes as long as we learned but two seconds later would be screaming at us for making mistakes. When she became head coach practices were so unorganized and she would barely give feedback until she got pissed. Would talk bad about players on the side lines and refused to change after being confronted about it. We ended up quitting and instead of being honest and reflecting on what happened, she lied and ruined multiple opportunities for players to play at other schools. Overall she fostered a negative environment and seems to be very selfish. Always putting her emotions over her players. Did not seem to care about our well being just wanted to win. Most people don’t understand why we quit because she lies about it but the real reason is we refused to put up with being treated like that any longer. Especially with our school already closing we wanted to cherish the time we had together and create memories but instead she beat us down every chance she got.

Coach Mettler is an embarrassment of a coach. Genuinely, the worst coach I have ever had and witnessed. She is the reason why I quit this sport after playing for 16 years. Her lack of sympathy and basic respect is what led to her entire team walking out on her and their last season together, and whatever fake story she is spreading about that situation is blasphemous. She knows the truth.

I loved my coach, I gained knowledge that will help me so much moving forward. It is brave to coach a team during a school closure, especially when other coach leaves the same year, and no one else would have wanted to try. Unfortunate ending but forever grateful. Definitely not a fair rating, it was a difficult year all around given the circumstances. Good coach.

Terrible. That’s all. 27 of her players quit mid season. That should be alarming.

Terrible. Has only her interests at heart and doesn’t care who it affects. The team she previously coached for has lost their love for the sport. The entire team quit as a result of her inability to properly coach a group of young women. If given the chance to be coached by her run the other way, it’ll help you in the long run.

This is the worst coach I have ever had in my 15+ years playing a sport. Degrades athletes, lies, and causes people to lose their love for the sport. Cause an entire team of collegiate lacrosse players to quit due to her negligence.
