Good guy but can be stubborn on ideas that he believes will help the team, even if they may not be the best choice.

Coach Wheeler is a really nice guy and truly wants his players to succeed but struggles to relate to his players or motivate them properly.

A good guy who really does care about his players. But terrible practices and player development, indicative of his teams lack of success

Super nice guy who is very honest with his players. The team is starting to get a culture as well. Could be more motivational and tougher.

KnowledgeableCreates A Great Team CultureDedicated To Players

He creates a true team spirit. It’s so clear in the face of the toughest situations that his players have learned to maintain composure . My son has had a great experience. They learn to play great ball and he develops all the players. With less than 20 seconds to go, his players keep their cool and have won a few games against the odds. A testament to a tough mentality. They never play dirty and are always respectful. If you have questions, don’t trust reviews and just talk to the players…

Dishonest, lack of caring, lack of and warped communication, zero leadership, soccer knowledge and bringing the team together. The communication there is, which is close to zero, is twisted and makes players think if they meet practice goals and expectations that they will see playing time- which doesn’t happen and with no communication. Misleads players, and the nepotism is infuriating, as well as family friends and the son’s roommate play. All get max playing time despite the performance or having to earn and put in time. He yells at players to shut up and to not speak to him. No open door policy. No trying to make a player, the team, the camaraderie better. Awful treatment of and ignoring of seniors is shocking and mean. Mentally messes with the boys and bullys them. And unfortunate because he has a great team of players and could be doing so well in the conference. Wesleyan is a great school otherwise, but if you are looking for a quality, fulfilling D3 soccer experience, I’d look elsewhere.

Geoff is always very supportive of the team and the school. The players we know believe he has a strong understanding of the game and they are very happy with the program.

DisorganizedOld School MentalityPoor Communication

I was in touch with Coach Wheeler during the recruiting process and was surprised by his inability to respond to my emails and questions. Even a respectful 'no' email would've been something but I had just stopped hearing from him.
