This was a coach that destroyed my love for a game that had been so strong for over a decade. My outlet for mental health and trauma, she destroyed that within a matter of months. She was emotionally abusive. She withheld meals from us and forced us to watch her girlfriends game (who was a coach in the SAME conference) during an away trip on a Sunday night because we lost. We had to have a player go get her from the fields because we were hungry and had homework. Everything was reported to administration and they continued to ignore it for years and years of abuse. In my opinion, the entire athletic department needs to be investigated for turning a blind eye to the abuse the ensued for years. This coach talked so negatively about me to my teammates behind my back. She was the worst and her being fired was 10 years overdue. No one like that should be in charge of young women. She took advantage of her power in more way than one.

Disorganized Old School Mentality Poor Communication
I feel every player should be warned before playing for Renee Hicks. I got worse as a player during my time playing at Bellarmine. Not only was the instructional ability of Hicks below satisfactory, we also endured harassment, bullying, sexual misconduct, withholding of meals, etc. To the ONE good review she got and to the person calling the victims “spoiled kids”, if Coach Hicks wasn’t guilty of the things she got accused of, she wouldn’t have been fired.

I’ve known Coach Hicks my whole life and it sickens me to think that spoiled kids attempt to stain her reputation! I’m directly connected to the player and parent that got her fired and it’s laughable that they are being believed! The truth will come out in the end!

Disorganized Intense Poor Communication
PATHOLOGICAL LIAR! By fair the worst coach I have ever played for. She knows nothing of the sport past 1992. She pins her players against one another to create drama. Sexually harassed the majority of the players on her teams. Renee also caused many of her players to suffer from mental health issues that followed them beyond their softball careers. I would never recommend anyone who loves the game to play for her.

Old School Mentality Poor Communication
This was the worst softball experience of my life. She was an awful leader, awful coach, and an awful representative of the program. She made me hate showing up every day to a sport I used to love. I’d never recommend anyone I know to play for this person. She pins players up against each other, lies, disrespects players, and is incapable of teaching players ways to sharpen their softball IQ. I’m not sure how she was ever a college coach for as long as she was.

She cared about certain players, but that was it. she didn’t have much knowledge about the sport and was disrespectful to most players. practices were a joke and because of that the team didn’t care.

It is hard to understand what kind of coach Renee was until you were playing for her/ around people who played for her. Overall would not recommend.
