Wow… where to begin. Hearing that there is finally a place where I can share my experiences with Juan Castillo makes me thrilled. As a player that was “coached” by juan for many years, I find it to be the biggest regret of my life. When juan began to recruit me, it was an entirely illegal process as I was currently in contract with a different collegiate team. Before I came to SCU, I was made a number of promises that I trusted and was let down shortly after. I have screenshots and screenshots of texts from him that state things out of the ordinary from a college coach. Juan is nothing short of a tormentor and a creep. He harps on women he coaches and inappropriately comments on their body image in terms that do not relate to soccer. To the comment that stated juan was a disciplinarian, you are entirely correct. However, his discipline typically revolves around those that aren’t in his group of favorites. Juan’s favorite form of discipline is simply putting players on the bench for sticking up for teammates and disagreeing with his morals and playing tactics. Juan runs to social media to share his distress with “liars, unloyal people, drama starters, narcissists, & betrayers” yet he never remembers he is all of those things. He ruined soccer for so many women and has no guilt for doing so. As I recall after at least 3 of his previous players either quit or were kicked off, he posted a photo on Instagram excluding each of those players from the pictures. Not only is juan a horrible person, he also sucks as a coach. He has NEVER had a winning season and has NEVER placed higher than the last team when it comes to the SAC playoffs. Juan decides which people will play each game by which player kissed his butt the most at practice. I feel sorry for those that still defend him as he has clearly manipulated you into believing he is someone that he’s not. Players that continue to support juan are the reason he continues to get away with his perverted, immoral, and disrespectful characteristics. I hope everyone else who has been a victim of juan continues to speak loudly and clearly for all future soccer players that he might recruit.
