    Manipulative. Narcissistic. Dishonest. She isn’t very knowledgeable about cheer although she acts like she is. Made promises during recruitment that never happened. Constantly talks bad about people behind their backs, including friends. Definitely has favorites. Blames everyone else. Just stay away. Stay far, far away.

    Adam only cares about certain players, never cares about all, Lies upon Lies upon Lies, simple. His own ego is the only thing that might be bigger than his forehead, let alone the fact that he'll lie straight to your face and tell you you're doing great, all the while talking sh*t behind your back to your teammates, encouraging them to do the same. Avoid playing for this coach at all costs unless you want your baseball career to end simply because he doesn't like YOU or what you believe in. Transfer when you have the chance to, or don't even bother

    Knows The GamePlayers Coach

    Barrett is a very caring coach. He cares so much for all of his players. He is such a fun likable guy, and I had a great time being a player under him. But in terms of Hockey, He’s not the most knowledgeable about the game and he doesn’t switch up lines. If you are a 4th line player, you will never play. We could be down 7-0 and the 4th liners would never play. Same with the goaltending. Also when I played we never did special teams with a PK against us, it was just a special team playing with no defense, which led us to failing in games lol. Overall, if you want some fun hockey that’s not serious, I would play for him.

    Very unclear about funding and asks to constantly to be paying out of pocket for stuff you’ll never see. Does not treat her athletes equally. She has favorites and will do anything to keep them happy even if it’s not for the grader good of the team. Over all not fit as a head coach.

    Coach Nicoles nickname is "Chippy". She is a great coach! She believes in us even when we don't believe in ourselves.
