Phil Yoshida is an embarrassment to Cal Poly and to Division 1 Swimming & diving. His reputation is known coast to coast and it’s terrible. Despite ongoing an investigation regarding his harassment and bullying of swimmers, divers and coaches, he is still allowed on the pool deck. He is quite literally destroying student athletes dreams that they’ve worked most of their young lives to arrive at this moment. He is destroying Cal Polys reputation and it is an absolute tragedy. He should absolutely not be allowed to coach as he is completely disorganized, lacking competence and managing completely by fear and by threats and intimidation. Worse he’s violated multiple Safe Sport Codes of Conduct and Cal Polys own codes of conduct. He is not honest and is immature and refuses to listen, learn, grown and benefit from assistant coaches. Cal Poly is an excellent academic school but your kids should absolutely 100% steer clear of a swimming or diving career until he is gone and no longer associated with Cal Poly in any way. The only records he’s set is in regards to the highest number of swimmers and divers that have quit the team in a single season. More than 40 have left in the short time he’s lead this team. He has zero idea of nutrition and feeds us all absolutely empty calories that have no benefit. He demands professionalism, appropriate attire and exceptional work ethic and attitude yet he fails himself in every one of these.
