Would Recommend
This coach uses fear tactics in practice, yelling, and rude comments causing players to have panic attacks frequently. Players play under extreme stress and mental breakdowns. He never shows it on game days but behind the scenes. I was recruited and left after his constant put-downs of players. Players feared retribution of playtime, so they remained quiet. The assistant coaches are great but leave frequently due to his practices. His season records are minimal because players do not play well under the intense stress and lack of team bonding. By the time the season ended, many players had begun to leave or left mid-season. Many players had injuries, as we would have weight training and then immediately have an intense practice not giving our muscles time to recover. Players were encouraged not to complain and continue playing against the trainer's recommendations, leaving some in tears of pain while trying to continue. The teammates were great and tried to support each other, but at times it was unbearable. Recruits do your homework!
