Had parents come in to his office every week that would complain about playing time then they would instantly start/ get more playing time. Did not care about injuries would assume you were lying about being injured/ would still try to start people who were injured depending on the injury. Would act like he cared about players but when he would ask a question about you he wouldn’t even listen to your response. He would act cool with you around other people but as soon as you had a 1 on 1 meeting with him he would tear your entire life apart whether it was about soccer, school, you as a person, your health/ mental health etc. Very obvious who is favorites on the team are he would have random personal meeting with them during the week or before/after practice. The drills he does are very repetitive, some drills were good but others he would make up and they didn’t make a lot of sense and he would spend 1-1.5 hours on the same drill at practice. The assistant coaches don’t really have a day at all they just go with what steve says, sometimes assistant coaches and head coach would often contradict each other. The team was very cliquey which had a lot to do with the head coach as well. He would very much separate the starters and non starters and it would create a lot of drama. Overall, he was a completely different person from meeting him for a visit to actually committing and going there.
