Huntington coach today banned the players from talking to anyone after the games...how ridiculous is that? If I want to talk to my kid, I'll talk to my kid
Glad someone agrees with me! Too bad we are all afraid to speak about it with each other in person because of big bad Kathy.
Does anyone else at HHS share this posters opinions?
I have been watching the KW bashing and have to say something. My daughter is coached by 'big bad KW' and you know what, this is all a pack of lies. There is no bullying, yelling, intimidating etc. I WILL tell you what is happening. At every home game the daughter of the director of Elevate is there, sits with all of the Elevate parents and riles them up. Tells them how bad of a coach KW is, how their daughter deserves more playing time over the other girls, how she should be removed. THEN, she goes over and speak to the girls after the games and says the same thing to them. Along the lines of "you are only NOT playing because you are on Elevate, only the YJ girls play" (which is not true). Now all of these people are in a frenzy, start believing this nonsense and accusing KW (who is a great coach and a wonderful person) of this garbage. What's her motivation?? Apparently she wants a head coaching gig to legitimize Elevate (since they do not have any Varsity coaches) Her resume, she coaches PAL so of course she could do a better job!!!!
Then all of the Elevate parents come on here and vent, thinking there is a conspiracy. The only conspiracy, sad to say is that all of the people complaining got taken by this woman and her father (who I am sure is behind this) with cruel intentions. Honestly, you have to ask yourself, if your daughter isn't playing, there is a reason. They want to win, if she was good she would be in there.
I am sure not a slew of parents will tell me this isn't the case, but you would be lying. Anyone in the stands will tell you this is happening, and frankly, if you spoke to your daughters, instead of feeding them garbage about how bad their coach is, you would hear them tell you all of this nonsense about KW is a bunch of lies.
Oh, and my understanding is she does this at the CSH games as well, and we have all seen the bashing on this thread about her.
She goes to the games to support the girls she coaches (there's 12 of them on Huntington). She goes to numerous other player's games at other schools because she enjoys watching them. To slander her like this is wrong. Last Huntington game she sat in the corner by herself so she could just enjoy watching, that's it. The texts she sends to the girls she coaches are always about "having fun" and "lacrosse is a game so just enjoy it".
She goes to watch many, many other players and there is no problem at all, at least not to my knowledge, at any of these schools. Besides that, she has also been coming to Huntington games for a few years and none of this has ever happened. Parents and players are upset because our daughters are being treated unfairly. They are belittled, one example being when KW put three girls on blast in front of their entire team and said they were not needed. Mind you, these three girls have been pivotal parts of the team and are all fantastic young ladies going to top colleges for not only athletics, but academics too.
Please be more careful when you post things of this nature, since clearly you don't know the young woman well enough. She has made major positive impacts in all of her players lives and we are grateful to know her.
Everything you said can also be said about KW. I don't know what you think you know, but I sit in those stands and trust me when I say, she is not promoting the 'fun' of the game to the TE parents. She is belittling the coach. That has a trickle down effect. Plus, have you seen the texts?? Probably not, so how would you know?
