Cares About AcademicsKnows The GamePoor Communication

He talks a lot about what his team can provide, yet rarely delivers on his word. He talks about having a unified and positive team environment yet often the team can be very divided with the help of some of his actions, or lack thereof. Many of his recruits feel burned out and leave within a season or so, including almost an entire class. Practice schedule includes 4 doubles a week yet very little focus on strength and endurance training. In summary, he knows a lot about the sport itself, but sometimes his practices try to do too much that it isn’t beneficial and his personal prejudices sour the experiences and opinions of the team and the sport itself while those that are favored are treated better than anyone who is not.

Makes promises he can’t keep Will tell you there will be scholarship money for you only for it all to be gone when the time comes for you to get it Picks favorites Double standards with rules Cares more about the team than the individual Recruits more grad students and focuses on them instead of freshman Practices are not effective and are outdated Heavy distance focused team Sometimes holds prejudice against athletes Will go out of his way for some athletes but hardly do anything for others
