First of all this coach only has a C license to coach and has never been a player. She literally stands on the sidelines with her arms crossed or on her hips and gives absolutely no direction or coaching. The only feedback she gives when she pulls you out is that you did terrible and finds every mistake the team made to put the blame on you the player. When girls get subbed out after 3 to 5 minutes they feel less then and have to get hugs and support from the teammates on the sidelines. She always brings the whole squad knowing that she is not going to play them. She tries to talk soccer language that makes absolutely no sense to confuse the girls even more. She doesn't care about feelings and will be little you if you have a suggestion or input. Every practice the day before games she has the team do 11v11 the whole practice when girls are already exhausted from the game before. She does not know how to coach nor does she care to learn. I have seen youth club coaches coach better then her. Never have team bonding events because she is too busy doing nothing!!!! Then she slid her husband as the assistant coach who does absolutely nothing but travel with the team as a 3rd wheel. He needs to go get a reel job cuz he has even less coaching experience. She has lied about players to get them off the team and then she plays victim. Not to mention the girls that have quit and now have mental health issues due to her rudeness and incapability to coach. None of the girls like her and are afraid to even have a conversation with her knowing that they could be the next ones on the chopping block. I don't understand how a UC could hire such an un experienced person (not coach) to leed a group of athletes that have fought all there playing career to be here. Honestly a 12 year old child could coach better. Also, she never talks or interacts with the real assistant coach who his very knowledgable and the only one keeping this team together. They need to make Nadler the head coach and have this poser kick rocks... As a head coach, how do you not see your team cry and lean on each other every single game. I could keep going on about her, but bottom line she doesn't coach, won't teach you anything, makes you feel useless and just doesn't know the beautiful game of soccer. SAD :(
