I kinda feel like lumping the Nix women team in with the same group as those with historic toxic cultures is a bit of a reach. Given this is only their third year and years 1-2 were very obviously not toxic. They appeared to be setup around players enjoying their time whist building for success. The coaches did not seem to concerned about results - and they may well have been a directive from above (I dont know). Now with a new coach, the arrival of import pros the standards and expectations have turned a full 180 and the success on the park has arrived. This is and was always necessary. Does it mean the culture of fun and enjoyment will dissappear? NO! Will it change - absolutely but it needed to. Will all the players like this - probably not, but you can't please everyone all of the time. That is life and if it's a life that isnt making you happy then you have a choice to make. WE all have to put up with things that arent the way we want them - it's part of life. Sadly there are always going to be people out there who believe their values are what everyone else should bend over backwards to meet, there is no halfway compromise. Those are the ones that generally run to social media.
