Absolutely horrible as a coach. While Nicole IS knowledgeable and passionate about lacrosse; neither of those traits make you a good coach. She plays mind games with players and purposefully destroys confidence. She doesn’t develop players. She is extremely selfish. Like, how does a coach not play all the seniors on Senior Day when you have a 6 goal lead with 4 minutes to go? Too concerned over winning meaningless games instead of taking care of your seniors. Talk about divisive! That display of poor leadership speaks volumes about the culture she has “fostered”. That lack of respect was noticed by every player on the sideline. Another review praised how Nicole took over a team with consistent losing records and that has continued with 2 more losing seasons. Some players are allowed to make the same mistakes every practice and every game and other players make one mistake and are benched. Add in that Nicole completely shut down and didn’t talk to anyone - assistant coaches or players or parents - for 4 days following a loss shows you how immature she is. Nicole has lost this team.
