Jessica O’Donnel is unlike any coach I’ve had in my life. She lied to me and my parents on my official visit. She said all the right things and when I came to campus I quickly learned that I was in a very bad situation. The freshman on the team were severely depressed within just a couple weeks of fall season. I would go to her with my concerns for the team and I was called a liar and that I was a negative influence on the team. We were pushed over the limit physically every day and this resulted in many injuries. This wasn’t even the worst of it she would tear you down mentally and question your character constantly. What me and my teammates went through was truly traumatic and I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. She should not be able to coach again and I hope she learns from her actions.
