This coach is very immature, plays favorites and her practices are mundane and boring. She disrespects the players and takes all of the fun out of the game. If you're not one of her favorites, she will shatter your confidence. Instead of making you feel accepted, she makes you feel rejected.

Terrible coach that knows nothing about the sport. She doesn't care about us and is a poor communicator. I am planning on transferring.

This coach is one of the worst coaches in college softball. She has no true knowledge about the game and only plays her favorite players. She was a pitcher in college and yet consistently fails to coach the pitchers on her own team. She also does not encourage a healthy team culture. Players that she coaches only get worse throughout their time there because she does not know how to coach. Her coaching style is cancerous and overall, she should simply NOT be a coach.

Huge reason to go to Haverford is coach Poppe. Very positive, makes the right decisions, understands the game. Far better than the alternatives we saw in recruiting.
