Brittney and she has ruined my love for the sport. She creates a toxic playing environment, the team is super close due to us all being trauma bonded. Every year the girls who join the team in the fall claim they were lied to in the recruiting process. Brittney claims she is all about positivity and positive reinforcement, but continues to tell the team we are out of shape and do not know how to play field hockey. Our running conditioning are always a test and timed to pass with unrealistic times that nobody passes. She will run us until we pee or throw up and thinks that is all due to us being out of shape. If you want to be on a team where you will be gaslighted and mentally abused and drained this is the team for you. She creates a schedule with at least 3 hours of field hockey related activities everyday and every semester tells girls they either can’t take a class or for them to ask their professors to change the time of class because it interferes with our practice schedule that she makes before we chose classes. The only good thing I have gained from coach Brittney is mental toughness which is something you need to be on this team, every single girl has at one point or another expressed their mental health struggling due to being on this team.
