Mike is probably the WORST coach you could ever have. He is so egotistical and IGNORES half the team that he’s recruited about 30 girls per season, screams at starters and breaks down your love of volleyball. Do not come here if you value volleyball whatsoever or want your love of the game to end. He truly makes you hate volleyball and if you try standing up for yourself he just ignores you benches you for life and talks s**t about you to other teammates and coaches.

If you like being screamed at and having your confidence destroyed, go play for Coach Sopocy. You will have 3-4 practices a day during preseason on top of lifts, and during regular season could still have 2 a days with lifts. If you're not one of his starting 7 you will rarely get a chance to play even though he will promise you left and right that you will get in. If you make one mistake you will be pulled and not given another chance. He screams at his starters and ignores the others. He knows volleyball very well but is an egomaniac. Try to tell him this and he will talk poorly about you to other athletes and coaches. There is 30+ girls on the team and he does not know how to create a team culture.
