Saying he's a good coach is an opinion, but the facts and statistics speak for themselves, Valmon is absolutely terrible. Comical look for the program that he still is the HC.

CoolIntenseCoach Valmon was an incredible athlete. Personally, I do not believe that a great athlete always makes a great coach. In my opinion, V was inaccessible at times and a poor communicator. The favorites game was definitely played and it showed. You were valued on your highs but on your lows, you barely existed. I wish this box was longer to say more.

AccessibleCoolDirectIntenseHe is undoubtedly one of the greatest coaches in collegiate athletics. If it were possible to go back to college and train under him, I would do it 100 times over. His hard work and dedication allowed for tremendous growth in both my athletic and academic endeavors. He is the definition of a coach that wants you to succeed on and off the track.

AccessibleCoolDirectIntenseCoach Valmon is one of the hardest working coaches I have ever met. He works around the clock to ensure the success of his athletes and takes a personal interest in their growth and development. I achieved personal records as a direct result of his coaching and motivation. Proud Terp!

AccessibleCoolDirectCoach Andrew Valmon is the greatest coach in the game. He has the professional experience, so he knows how to be professional and what to prioritize in his training. If I should describe him with three words it would be: passionate, professional, hilarious

AccessibleCoolDirectIntenseHe always encourages his athletes to give their best in everything they do. If he comes off tough, it's because he cares. He wants the best for his athletes and isn't going to take anything less. He's honorable, admirable, and a pleasure to play for. I am proud to be his athlete.

CoolIntenseHe is out of touch with his athletes and plays favorites. If you are not a favorite he does not care about you. If you are hurt he does not care about you. You CANNOT get a hold of him. He never replies. If you are not his event group, he does not ask you about your training or how you performed. He does not motivate or engage you.

CoolCoach Valmon means well but at times his focus on putting certain athletes in the best position to do well hinders the team on a much higher magnitude than I think he notices. He can be a bit intimidating to approach after hearing what he has done to others. Overall, to me he is a nice person to me.

AccessibleCoolDirectIntenseCoach Valmon is a knowledgeable and motivating coach. If he sees you putting in the effort and busting your butt to achieve your goals he will do everything possible to make sure that you have the tools to reach those goals.

CoolSpends little time developing athletes that don't come in already at the top of their event. As such, he plays the recruiting game pretty hard which limits his already inaccessible schedule. I can't say much about his coaching style as I wasn't in his event group, but you only need to see the past decade of lackluster results to shape an opinion.

AccessibleCoolDirectIntenseHe is definitely a very motivational person, and makes me want to work harder. I don't mind him being hands-off at times, because that's what our event coaches are there for. I talk to my event coach almost everyday, but Coach V always talks to me before meets to make sure I'm set, and I think that at the end of the day, he keeps tabs on everyone

CoolCoach V can be a very encouraging. I do agree that it is sometimes hard to reach or get definite responses or tailored workouts/help for your event area. I did appreciate that he came to cross country practices often even after the sprinters started their fall training. Overall nice guy but can be a little out of touch with certain athletes

CoolDirectIntenseI love Coach V; though I did not have the best relationship with him while being his athlete, I know that he will always have my back. If I ever reach out to him, I have no doubt he would connect with me if I needed him. I wish he would connect better with his athletes at the time of their tenure, whether they jump, throw, or run.
