Ghosts people on calls I really wonder if Matt knows. Richmond was a favorite until we encountered her. May be a good swimmer, but questionable coach.

She completely ruined confidence, knowledge of soccer was very low, had favorites, showed up late to practice. Removed our access from a true strength coach and facility. Didn’t care if we lost.

Please take time to research this program thoroughly. Based on what we observed, Coach Elaine Jones’ behavior and coaching style did not align with what we expect from someone responsible for mentoring young women. Her interactions are dismissive and discouraging demeaning and this impacted players across the board. This is not written out of frustration over playing time or an issue with one situation. She treats athletes poorly across the board it is a reflection of the environment we witnessed. Protecting our daughters means ensuring they are in a place that builds them up, not tears them down. Speak with the athletic director, talk to current players, and gather as much information as you can before committing.

I unfortunately experienced playing under elaine jones. she is very manipulative and will get in your head; mentally abusive. I was constantly told i wasnt good enough. she would constantly remind me of all my mistakes and telling me im not worth anything. that is NOT a coach. When i finally realized that what she was doing was affecting my self-esteem/worth on and off the field i decided to transfer. I was in therapy for months to undo what she did to me, i wouldn't wish my worst enemy to play under her.

Other NCAA coaches think she is a joke. She has been run out of most programs and she’ll intentionally uses the race card and sexual orientation to keep her job for as long as she can. Any positive reviews on here must be Elaine posing as a player . Don’t be fooled Parents - your daughters will be ruined for life. Players - save yourself. Don’t go to Akron. Literally anywhere else is better. NCAA- Finally step up and do the right thing for the sport and remove her. Elaine- you are pathetic. I hope you rot in hell
