    Condescending, unable to motivate players, evidenced by lack luster seasons as head coach, thinks highly of herself, puts her needs before team and players, just because she plays soccer does not mean that she is a good coach, lack soccer IQ, keeps doing the same thing even when it is not getting the desired results. Plays mental games with players, lack of transparency, lacks soccer acumen, an overall hot mess. What could they be thinking of to ever give her the head coaching job? Did they not check references carefully?

    Poor Communication

    From what I have seen she does not care about players mental well being. No communication on any fronts unless it’s your first year. After that there is no communication or coaching. Doesn’t care about winning team but does care about her beliefs and opinions. Very detrimental to many players mental wellbeing.

    We have had a great experience with her and have never had anything bad to say. She was motivational, thoughtful and a knowledgeable coach.

    I have had experience with Manya for many years and have never seen any of the negative comments exhibited by her. She truly cares for the athletes and has their best interests at heart

    My experience as a player isn’t what is on this app. Don’t believe everything you hear (the bad or the good). I hope the truth comes out.

    I can’t say enough about how toxic this coach was- it is unfortunate that it took George Mason so long to get rid of her. She was manipulative- she tore down her players and played them against each other- made up lies and spread them- I hope the soccer community takes notice and doesn’t allow her to coach again- she is not good for your daughters mental health- a lot of counseling needed after having this coach- she is getting what she deserves.

    DirectFitness Is ImportantKnows The GamePlayers CoachPoor Communication

    She is a horrible person and coach. Mentally abusive to her players, not honest and creates a horrible cut culture for players - some of the better players and people get cut with no reason or explanation. Changes scholarship money midseason - also fired two assistant coaches for no reason. A few player lawsuits in the works - stay away!

    DisorganizedPoor Communication

    She is a horrible coach. Encourages players to talk behind each others backs, leading to negative team culture & toxic environment. Does not care about the mental health of her players, encourages lying, and leads people on, only to cut them later. Verbally abusive to her players and rewards players with game time for tattling on teammates to the coaching staff.
