    Where do I even start. Brooke was named our next head coach of a college program as the same age as me. Even then, me and my family still had hope for the program. However, hiring a freshly graduated player was a big risk. What I can say is, we have been severely let down. Brooke shows up to practice smelling of alcohol, and this can be confirmed with any one of us as players. She is hungover often and we have even brought this up to administrators with no luck. We have even run into her at the bars and I can’t believe how embarrassed I felt. I just graduated from winning two games my senior year and wished we had done more as a team at least. Practices are lazy and sloppy. She is always late. I will leave it at that. Don’t even ask me about what we did for spring break

    Was I supposed to enjoy my senior year? Playing under Brooke Donovan made me regret my softball career at Otterbein
