DisorganizedIntensePoor Communication

We have experienced many coaches through lacrosse. I can hands down say that Heather’s coaching style is the bottom of the barrel. As a head coach you need to be a builder not a destroyer. There is a difference in hard coaching and destroying. She is the latter. Lacks communication and direction outside of reminding the players how bad they are doing. She will ruin a players love for the game. She is not capable of building team culture outside of her favorites. She over promises and under delivers. She provides lips service over coaching. When you have top talent wanting to walk away you have to look within yourself first. I believe that what she needs is to reflect. I think her knowledge is valuable. Unfortunately coaching isn’t all about ball knowledge and past playing experience. It’s about building young players up and shaping them into well rounded individuals that can thrive in a team environment. Thats where she misses.
