Dempsey lacks professionalism is non-communicative, void of any sort of ability to create a team environment and completely self-serving. Any knowledge of the game is overshadowed by these important attributes needed to build a successful program. I would seriously consider all of your options before playing for any team he is a part of.

The travesty that is Wofford women’s soccer with Kevin Dempsey at the helm. He’s not a player oriented coach. He does not care about developing his players and has repeatedly told his current team they are all expendable and will bring in his own recruits to replace them all. Despite their hard work he’s also told them they are not qualified for a D1 program. This includes his seniors. He also has penalized anyone who enters the portal despite the fact that he forced them to do so. This is not a good man and the AD could care less about your players either. Having the current freshman recruits sign commitments and then the very next day sending them each an email telling them the coach who recruited them was fired. TOTALLY UNETHICAL PROGRAM.

RUN! Not a player oriented coach. Only cares about his own recruits. Does not develop athletes only crushes them. Listens to no one. Parks the bus in every game.

The worst coach — and frankly one of the worst people — I’ve ever encountered in my life. I played for Naomi while she was the head coach at Loyola and she systematically destroyed the mental and emotional well-being of young athletes. She is a horrible communicator, lacks basic empathy, and is just a generally awful human to be around. She did not care for her player’s development — on or off the field. She divided the team by enforcing different standards for different players. She was utterly disrespectful and once referred to a player as a “r****d” in front of the entire team. That language is absolutely unacceptable. Her behavior was frequently bizarre, bitter, and flat-out unhinged. In one team meeting, she had us look around the room and (referring to our own teammates) said, “These people are not your friends. You think they’ll be bridesmaids in your wedding one day? They won’t.” I can’t even begin to unpack how bizarre, unnecessary, and odd those comments are. She was probably projecting her own insecurities of having zero friends from her own college experience. I’m now married and four of my college teammates stood beside me as bridesmaids. Meanwhile, Naomi projects her own deep-seated bitterness and inability to form healthy relationships onto others. She simply doesn’t know how to connect with people — as a coach, as a leader, or as a human being. The damage she inflicted on her players extended far beyond college soccer. Many of my former teammates left the sport entirely, unable to play after graduation because she had sucked the joy and passion out of something they once loved. She didn’t just coach poorly, she categorically ruined the sport for people who dedicated years of their lives to it. That level of harm is inexcusable. I would never send my child — or any child — to any program that allowed her anywhere near it. I could easily write a book detailing the countless examples of her incompetence. She should never be in a position of leadership over the development of young women— or anyone.

Disrespectful to players, opponents, officials, everyone. Thinks extremely highly of himself, but doesn’t actually know modern tactics. Coaches negatively. Plays favorites openly and behind closed doors is brutally worse.
