    Poor Communication

    He lies all the time. He’s not a man of his word. He’s unfair and shows favoritism. He also creates drama and tension amongst the players. Bad environment.

    One of my favorite assistant coaches I’ve had. Very knowledgeable about the game & data driven. Gives you the facts which we all appreciated. Glad to see he’s doing well at Wright State and has completely turned that program around. I think he’d make a great head coach in a P4 school one day.

    Unfortunately being a player under Tom is anything but wonderful. To say that “if you don’t have thick skin he’s not the coach for you” is an understatement. If you enjoy being ridiculed, lied to, made fun of in front of your teammates, turned against your teammates and struggling with mental health then he is definitely the coach for you. He might have “turned the program around” but it was short lived as playing in fear is not long lasting. And neither is the human body when put through unnecessarily demanding physical conditioning that only hurt more players than helped. Physically wrestling other players on the field with no objective but to shove them out of the circle resulted in many dislocated joints and concussions. Drilling soccer balls straight into girls faces resulted in many concussions, not to mention a record of 10 concussions in one season. I have to say we did play in the SEC where soccer was kickball against most teams like arkansas and mizzou for starters, but most of those concussions were earned in practice. Most girls enter college soccer knowing it wont be easy, the training will be physically tough, sacrifices are made, but no one should ever be expected to sit silently and accept treatment like we were forced to under this man's leadership.
