    Not sure how he hasn’t been fired yet. Has had title xi complaints filed and university protects him. He screams at athletes and assistant coaches regularly. Many of our teammates quit the team and a lot of coaches quit because of him.

    KnowledgeableBelieves In YouCreates A Great Team CultureDevelops Team Beyond The FieldGreat Leader

    Coach Max is one of the greatest coaches and leaders I've seen in college soccer. His passion and work ethic are unmatched. As a graduate from F&M, Coach Max played at a very high level and knows what it takes to win as a coach. My favorite thing about Coach Max is that he detests mediocrity and he never rests on his laurels. Coach Max taught me to be a better leader, player, and person and I can say with great certainty that I would not be the person I am today without the influence of Coach Max. He genuinely cares about his players and makes a concerted effort to build relationships with them, which consequently creates a strong culture. He held me accountable, empowered me to strive for excellence, and was even the first to reach out when there was a death in my family. There are many phrases that I think of when I think of Coach Max ("Embrace your role", "Servant Leadership", "Heart Full", "Championship Mentality", etc.). You hear these phrases the first day of your freshman year with him, but you really learn the true meaning behind them throughout your 4 year career. I can recall many anecdotal stories of what Coach Max taught me about soccer, leadership, and life, but the most important thing he taught me was (in soccer and in life) to "chase a feeling" rather than to chase silverware. To finish, Coach Max's ability to mentor young men and mold them into hardworking and responsible adults is invaluable. If you want to have a hell of an experience playing college soccer, play for Coach Max.

    I was able to connect with Coach Watson in his time at the University of Mary Washington and Washington College. Although I never played for Coach Watson he recruited me to the 2 schools above and I was impressed by his level of initiative. He set in place the culture to turn the UMW men's soccer team around and was crucial in helping them win championships.
