One of the biggest issues is blatant favoritism. It was clear that certain players got special treatment, while others were ignored or overlooked. This created a toxic environment that hurt team morale and made it difficult for us to grow and improve as a team. There were also serious ethical concerns, including inappropriate relationships between coaches and players. On top of that, the coaching staff frequently talked about players behind their backs to other players, which only added to the negativity. Instead of offering constructive feedback or genuinely working to help everyone improve, the coaches focused almost exclusively on one player, leaving the rest of us feeling unsupported and disregarded. The coaches were very unorganized with gear and film for games, which disrupted our preparation and performance. Their moods were unpredictable, they could be happy one moment and then suddenly turn stone cold the next, which was really scary and unsettling for the whole team. To make things worse, the assistant coach often showered and changed in the locker room, making many of us uncomfortable. They also pushed us so hard in conditioning that people were literally throwing up, and then acted surprised when so many got injured and we kept losing games. Our offense and defense were totally unorganized, no one really understood what the coaches were trying to say, and everyone was confused all the time. Yet, they still blamed the losses on us not being bonded as a team, which just didn’t make sense. Overall, the lack of professionalism, fairness, and organization made it a very unpleasant experience.
