I played for Tracy as a starter and witnessed a consistently toxic environment built around favoritism and manipulation. She has clear favorites who are excused for mistakes and held to different standards. Many of these favorites were solely because they had wealthy families who would donate a lot of money to the program in exchange for playing time and benefits. For example, players are required to pass a fitness test at the beginning of the season to play, yet favorites who were not able to pass were excused and allowed to play, while other players who could not pass had to repeatedly try until they passed in order to play. Some favorites would go out the night before games, be late to practices or team meetings, or lash out at other players with no consequences. Working hard and doing things right doesn't get you anywhere with her. She's dishonest, makes false promises, and even puts players against each other by starting drama on her own. I witnessed her single players out in front of the whole team to embarrass them, make racist comments, and create a psychologically damaging environment. Our team sports psychologist encouraged several girls to leave specifically because of the harassment and emotional abuse. She was also disturbingly focused on players' bodies and food, checking grocery bags, commenting on players' bodies, and requiring one teammate to lose a specific amount of weight to stay on the team, and I watched this contribute to teammates developing eating disorders. I also witnessed her play a teammate through mono who was begging to be taken off the field, to the point of her collapsing. She leads with fear, causing players to feel like they have no voice or way to stand up against her, while her favorites defend her every move. She publicly claims to support mental health and women's empowerment, but what I witnessed on this team was the exact opposite. She looks good on paper, but unless you're one of the few favorites who can do no wrong, I'd steer clear. This is an environment that can genuinely take your love for the game and replace it with real trauma.
