Poor Communication

Coach Crabill offers a good incentive during the recruiting process. Once you are on the team it’s a different story. You can see by the stats he has not done well with the program. He tells players to be meaner on the freshman, plays his favorite players and punishes those he doesn’t like. He will most likely tell will play two positions but I have never seen that happen. He puts players against each other and has killed any moral the team had. Even though his seniors have given bad feedback he still manages to keep his job. Go to Springfield for the academics. Don’t go if soccer is your passion. There are much better coaches out there.

DisorganizedPoor Communication

Tommy Crabill coaches through fear, intimidation and punishment. He is emotionally abusive in both comments and tactics. He has created a toxic environment in which players have lost morale, motivation, and confidence. His punishment of mistakes stifles creativity, growth and enjoyment of the sport. Punishing athletes for errors can lead to anxiety and discourages them from taking necessary risks for development.
