Coach Ghilardi is not the same person that recruited you once freshman season begins. It is clear from the beginning she will pick favorites and they will do no wrong in her eyes. Her “favorites” could make a mistake during a game and not be pulled out, however a “non-favorite” could make that same mistake and would immediately be pulled from the game. She will talk about players behind their back and put them against one another. It does not make for a cohesive team as you can see from the previous year’s records. The environment created comes from the top down and if all players do not feel valued, there is no way to create a winning team. She is on her third assistant coach in just a matter of a few years. She is very good at robbing you from the joy of lacrosse. Should a player have the unfortunate experience of having a medical issue or injury, you immediately become of no value to her. The support is not there and there is no opportunity to feel valued from that point on. Should a player ask how they can improve, she will not provide you with a direct answer. Coach cuts players and does not stay committed to them once on the team.
