Poor Communication

All talk, no game. On the surface Joe seems to be on top of all the basic needs to be a successful coach. However, his inability to genuinely connect with his players and coaching staff due to his napoleonic ego has lead to a shell of a team. Refuses to look in a mirror and blames lack of progress on tenured players. Has no experience playing the offensive side of the ball. Skidmore, and Saratoga as a whole, has great possibility to host a solid team but won't happen under him. Wouldn't recommend this program to anyone while Joe is at the helm. - former starter.

Poor Communication

Joe Martin is an amazing recruiter. But what he lacks is relating and connecting to college athletes. There is no mutual respect and he has a constant power trip. He is incapable of giving any kind of responsibility to his assistant coaches and looks at incoming freshman with more confidence then 4 year seniors who have put the work in to be on the team. This explains why Skidmore mens lacrosse is always a young team. His retention rate for players is the horrible and when I decided to leave the team and meet with my coaches, my assistant coach told me he was not allowed to talk during our meeting.
