There is saying, "those who can't play, coach", fortunately, she can do both. Not only was she great in her time as a player, she is a great coach because she understands the game. Outside of softball, she makes an effort to get to know her players as actual people and puts in time to build her relationships with every young woman on the team. Any recruits that are looking to come to Haverford would be so lucky to play for her.

Coach Poppe is very knowledgeable about the game and is a super competitive person who sets her team up for success. It’s been a pleasure playing for her and I would highly recommend any recruits to consider Haverford.

This coach is very immature, plays favorites and her practices are mundane and boring. She disrespects the players and takes all of the fun out of the game. If you're not one of her favorites, she will shatter your confidence. Instead of making you feel accepted, she makes you feel rejected.

Poor Communication
Terrible coach that knows nothing about the sport. She doesn't care about us and is a poor communicator. I am planning on transferring.

This coach is one of the worst coaches in college softball. She has no true knowledge about the game and only plays her favorite players. She was a pitcher in college and yet consistently fails to coach the pitchers on her own team. She also does not encourage a healthy team culture. Players that she coaches only get worse throughout their time there because she does not know how to coach. Her coaching style is cancerous and overall, she should simply NOT be a coach.

Huge reason to go to Haverford is coach Poppe. Very positive, makes the right decisions, understands the game. Far better than the alternatives we saw in recruiting.
