My experience with this coach was not what I had hoped for. During my visit, he clearly outlined his expectations and how practices would be run, which I appreciated. However, many aspects of his coaching style did not align with what I was looking for in a supportive and effective coach. One of my main concerns was finding a coach who genuinely cared about the players' well-being and team success. While he mentioned having strong relationships with all the players, it felt like his focus was only on two specific girls, which created a divide within the team. I value a coach who challenges players to grow and improve, even if it means stepping outside their comfort zone. However, the approach often felt excessive and unrelated to volleyball development. For example, practices sometimes involved over 50+ suicides that left players physically drained but didn’t contribute to skill improvement at all. There were also instances where players sought guidance but were met with dismissive comments, such as being told they should already know what to do. rogers said "I don't know how to coach". It was disheartening to see players struggling without receiving the support or encouragement they needed to succeed. Team morale was affected as well. Practices often created a stressful environment where players felt anxious about the amount of running or conditioning rather than focusing on improving their volleyball skills. Finally, while the team had successful seasons, he ONLY HAD SUCCESSFUL SEASONS BECAUSE HE HAD TALENTED GIRLS ON THE TEAM, NOT BECAUSE HE IS A GOOD COACH!
