    The significant chasm between those who recommend coach Boswell and those who don’t is telling and speaks to the polarizing nature of this coach. She definitely has her favorites but their experience is not the same as others. Good coaches get the best out of all of their players. Her caring ends when she feels a player is no longer useful. These athletes commit the fall of their junior years and completely shut down their recruiting process. They deserve transparency and honesty. There is a consistent pattern of pulling scholarships after freshman year before a player has had a chance to earn playing time. As a non-starter freshman there is very little opportunity to be seen and earn playing time. This may speak to a bigger NCAA issue. Roster caps and the transfer portal incentivize lower level teams to grab players from better programs instead of developing players on their own teams: That’s unfortunate and not what college sports are supposed to be about. Lesson learned. My advice to athletes is to pick a program where they can make an immediate impact, they’ll be happier and better positioned if they choose to enter the portal.

    Coach Boswell is truly a great coach who cares about her players as people, not just players. Like any coach she wants to win and will push her players to achieve their individual goals as well as their team goals. She is not for everyone as players who cannot handle constructive feedback don't seem to mesh well with her, but she's honest and direct and will do everything she can to get the most out of you while also caring deeply about you as a person.

    When 11 players decide to enter the portal & 3 additional quit at the end of a season (2026), it seems very clear that there is a much larger issue than "disgruntled mommies and daddies" or a lack of motivation and/or desire from the players themselves. That number screams of an unhealthy, toxic and unfulfilling athletic experience, and should not be overlooked. As a parent of one of the aforementioned 14 players, I can assure you we had nothing to do with her decision to move on - that decision was driven entirely on her own, and based on the relentless mind-games, berating of players and unrealistic expectations set by Coach Boswell and her staff. Do significant homework and make numerous reach outs to current and former players prior to making a commitment to HPU...

    I played for Coach Boswell for 5 years and would not have wanted it any other way. She is very intense and will do anything to get her team to play at their best, which should be expected at the D1 level. This includes providing team yoga, EQ, vitamins, nutrition advice, coordinating with strength coaches and ATs on progress through the year. She is very clear on what the expectations will be through the recruiting process and on day 1 before practices even start. She expects the same level of commitment from everyone on the team, just because you are injured or not getting the playtime you want doesn't mean you are any less apart of the team as people who start in games, which again should be expected at this level. She fosters leadership skills in her players and deeply cares about them, not only about their performance on the field but that they are setting themselves up with the right mindset and skills to enter the real world. She takes her players health and nutrition very seriously. At one away trip our team got food poisoning and she stayed up all night helping girls who were sick (while she herself was also sick) and set us up at an IV clinic to replace fluids as soon as we got back to campus. There are people who like to point the blame at her and tear down the High Point program for their own personal shortcomings (and skew graduation/transfer statistics, particularly the one in an earlier review) which is just not true. If you are not willing to put in the work to get better and be apart of a team then this is not the place for you. Overall, my experience with Coach Boswell has been very positive. I've learned so many life lessons that I will be able to carry with me through my career that have already put me ahead of other people my age.
