Poor Communication

Kurt is the kind of coach that will make you regret you played in college. He consistently pits players of the same position against each other which results in little team chemistry or lasting friendships. Kurt lies to everyone on the team, he will nod his head yes and act like he cares so he can say he listened then completely go back on his word. He does not deal with conflict and imo has no balls. He cares about the teams physique and will actively comment on certain players weights or tell them they need to lose x lbs over the summer to where it results in team member eating disorders. He does not communicate except to his favorite 1-2 players. There is no focus on building you as a person or ever trying to actually get to know you. If you mess up, he will almost immediately pull and replace you with the next person— total lack of belief in anyone except the star. Kurt plays mind games with most of the team and will make you doubt yourself and feel like crap. He refuses to run any offense but the one he wants and does not take input from players. Stay away from this coach and program. He is the reason no program alumni are supportive or return.
