Poor Communication

Let’s call this out clearly: targeting a player is a choice. Singling out an athlete for public humiliation, especially in front of their teammates, is a power play with malicious intent. This is Sarah Johnson. Don’t let her mousy exterior fool you. When a coach micromanages one individual, policing every movement, every word, every breath, it’s not constructive criticism, it’s spite. A program and a coaching staff that engages in and tolerates this kind of behavior is negligent. Passive-aggressive sabotage and psychological abuse violates established legal standards for educational environments, sports coaching, and professional conduct. It is a Title IX and Safe Sport violation. An athletes mental and physical health is the real cost of unchecked abuse of power and targeting. Sarah Johnson and the BCFH staff as a whole don’t apply the rules equally. Some players get to bypass the stated requirements (“don’t pass the run/beep test and you won’t start”) and others meet and exceed every “requirement” and are sidelined despite ability. The injustice is obvious to everyone. This is Sarah Johnson and the coaching staff at BC. This is why they can’t win despite talented players. There is no self-reflection among the staff, they never take responsibility, there are no adjustments, there is no positive communication. This is a socially inept and self-absorbed staff who don’t care about their players, want to get to know them, or understand them. Don’t ask legitimate questions or seek to learn, you will be punished or cease to exist. Players are miserable and so is Sarah Johnson, as a person and most especially as a coach.
