As someone who played for Coach Willis a few years ago, my heart breaks reading these comments but it also feels relieving to know I wasn't alone. I was injured, struggling with my confidence, and just needed my coach to believe in me. I have never in my ENTIRE life felt so discarded and ignored by someone who calls themselves a "coach". And when you go to have a conversation about why you're not playing, be prepared to get the most round-about answer you will ever receive. I was excited to have a coach that cared, and instead I had to witness the most emotionally immature & manipulative coaching staff treat me and 99% of my teammates like garbage. Thank you Coach Willis for reminding me of all the people who truly mattered and shaped my softball career, because it was never you. Don't worry- if I ever have the opportunity to coach a group of young women, I'll make sure I support, coach, and mentor them the way you never could. I loved Bradley, but I'm sad you had to be a part of the softball experience. I hope someday you read these and won't let your narcissism get in the way of giving your past & present players the apology they deserve.
