Lucy Gillet is a terrible coach. I tried to give 0 stars for the motivational, caring, and honest categories, but it wouldn’t let me. She did not earn, nor deserve, the title of head coach, but was named it basically by default. She does not embody a head coach by any means. I was personally excited for her to be my coach, given her very recent experience with college soccer. However, my excitement was VERY quickly shot down. I also thought that she would be easy to get along with and would be understanding of intense school schedules due to her young age and recent experiences in college herself, but I was very wrong about this as well. She is power hungry and loves to dangle her superiority over her player’s heads at absolutely every chance she gets. She also constantly shows her superiority over her assistant coaches, as she treats them horribly yet makes them do all of her work. She is not a knowledgeable coach whatsoever and should have never been given a head coaching title at the division 1 level. She single handedly destroyed my confidence on the field, and I know for a fact that I am not the only one who she has made feel this way. After just one season with her, not a single senior stayed to play their 5th year (despite all having the ability to do so due to Covid) AND 6 players transferred to other schools… her track record certainly speaks for itself.
