Lacrosse
| No. It turns into parents sharing their genuine experiences, which have been extremely consistent. It could certainly benefit other parents to know these things. |

This is a fake reply. I’m not sure if it’s chat Gpt or what but this doesn’t seem real.

| lol why does the military still utilize these techniques if so outdated? |
The military breaks you down to build you up. This coach shames, humiliates and belittles teen girls because she’s in a bad mood. Its not constructive feedback or criticism. Half the time she doesn’t even know what she’s talking about. Half the time she calls players by the wrong name or rips a player to pieces for something they didn’t even do. maybe she just gets off on it. There is no mutual respect |
Truth. |
In the DMV, girls' lacrosse is such a toxic sport, and it's driven by coaches like the ones mentioned. It's really depressing to watch. Just had an issue, and I'm seriously asking myself the same question that OP did. Sports are meant to build girls up, not tear them down. |

The premise is incorrect. Sports by design are competive and have winners and losers. Not everyone wins or starts or excells as a player goes further the best rise including players and teams and coaches. The top coaches at SSSAS SR and Capitol are not designed for all to be built up. Thems are just the facts. |
| Duly noted, Coach. Thanks for clarifying that not all high school girl players working hard, putting in the extra time and effort deserve to have coaches who respect them and build them up. |
And this is exactly why the sport is toxic. You can care about winning and building kids up at the same time. These are not mutually exclusive. |
Lest we forget this is a $60k a year school where sports credits are required to graduate. Capital dues alone is like $5k. Add in travel, showcases, HB, etc and you’re up to $10k minimum. At this price point, yes you absolutely need to build your female athletes up and develop all of them as much as possible. |
But the SSSAS lacrosse website says what sets their program apart is its culture of “mutual respect” and that they “celebrate every member of our team”. |
