    CoolMotivationalKnowledgeableDevelops Team Beyond The FieldPassionate About Coaching

    I’ve only been at Hofstra for a short time, but I’ve already seen improvement in my running. Coach Vince really knows what he’s talking about and understands how to help his athletes get better. On top of being a great coach, he’s also a great guy and someone who genuinely cares about the team. He’s a huge family guy, and you can tell he wants the team to have that same kind of bond and really be one group.

    Coach Vince is a great coach but beyond that a great human being. He invests deeply into his team not only at the athletic level but the emotional level. He believes in his athletes and gives them the tools to succeed. Not only from an athletic standpoint but from a personal perspective he developes the individual as a person and is dedicated to seeing the growth of his team. This is rare in the NCAA, the atmosphere he creates is highly unique and a great place to be.
