Gail is a not only a terrible coach, but a terrible person too. She created a TERRIBLE team culture on her team by having groups of favorites that would sit in her office with her for multiple hours before and after practice, these girls would also be allowed special privileges that other ppl didn’t receive.( like getting certain gear, picking her children up from school, special trips with her when we travel, trips to her house, ect) Gail would tell her favorites private information like about an injury or personal information that you had shared with her that you wouldn’t want shared. This created extreme toxicity on our team and eventually lead to it falling apart causing 25+ transfers. She was even like this to her other staff. I will admit she does have a good lax IQ but does that really matter when you’re miserable all the time at practice/lift/games/ and travel? When we traveled she would specifically put groups of girls in rooms close to hers so she could listen to them outside their door ( yes she actually did this.)You will CONSTANTLY catch her giving you dirty looks if you aren’t one of the favorites then turning to her group of girls laughing. She acts like a high school bully to bunch of 18-23 years olds which is really pathetic as a 50+ year old. She does not create a supportive environment and does not care about her players. She will mentally abuse you if you aren’t one of her favorites. Also would only play the people she liked, doesn’t even matter if they should be starting or not, as long as you were on her good side you would be playing. During the recruitment process she sounds great and like she really truly cares for you but it’s all b.s. If I could go back in time I would NEVER commit to play for her knowing the way she treats people.
