created a horrible team culture. Many players have left the program. The record year in and year out reflects how bad the coaching is. No accountablity from the coaches' side. During my time there, i even witnessed abusive tendencies from both jenna dingler and her assisstant at that point. Practices were chaotic and unstructured. games were chaotic and we had no real plan. In my class we all noticed immediately that our high school teams were better than this joke of a team, with way better coaching, better facilities, better team play, and chemistry. this is not a real D1 program. the other teams all laughed at us and made jokes about us. having talked to another team we played out of conference, we found out that the seniors on that team took shots before playing against us. that is with how little seriousness our opponents treat playing us. We are/were the joke on everyone's game schedule. if you are committed here or are considering going here, do yourself a favor and do not. find a better school to commit to or just be happy playing club at a bigger school! good luck! 0/10 would recommend, you are wasting your time and potential here!

Who is truly responsible for creating a great team culture? It’s not just the coach. It literally takes everyone on the team to foster that every day. Way too often do we come on sources like this to complain. Complaining makes a culture worse. Take accountability and truly create the culture you say you want. It’s that easy. If your main goal is to complain and point out coaches shortcomings you are literally creating the toxic culture you are complaining about!

Do not come here, she doesn’t care about academics or individual players. Practices are rough and the record reflects the coaching (2-14).

Not a good coach. Did not fulfill expectations I had for this program. Did not foster good team culture.

DisorganizedPoor Communication

Fosters bad team culture and is a bystander to bullying on and off the field. Impatient, will get angry and yell at individuals or the team as a whole quickly in practice. Puts pressure on players instead of fostering a positive environment and encouraging them to succeed. Does not value her players' time. Many athletes quit or leave...

Cares about grades but is legit clueless. Practices are disorganized, just focuses on defense. Working hard or even doing well does not mean you’ll get playing time. Often is randomly in a bad mood and will get angry during practices. Goes through phases of picking on specific players and favoring others, it shows a lot. The seniors have a lot of power: they will go up to her and tell her who they don’t want to play with and she does whatever they say it’s a joke really.

Such a nice person but just not a good coach. Team defense is great, but has no understanding of offense. Basically no requirements for fitness, she did our conditioning last year we would just randomly do a few sprints now and then. Has high demands for grades you bring in but lacks understanding of how to actually help (will advise you to use a planner but that’s it lol) Will get a full 20+ hours out of you even in fall. Film is huge. Team culture is not great, a lot of complaining (it always seems like players don’t want to be there and put in the work), a lot of gossiping, when things go bad no one wants to hold themselves accountable not even the coach, everyone just blames each other.

Super nice when visited. Completely different person when you are on the team. Could care less about how you are doing in classes. Transferred after first semester. Entire team culture is not a good environment. Multiple people transferred out my year.
