Coach Pete is one of the best people I know. As a coach, he is genuine, honest, motivational, and caring. He cares about each and every single one of his athletes, from the star runner to the slowest kid on the team. He is accessible and would do anything for any one of his athletes, past or present.

Anyone who’s been under Pete’s wing has grown to like him over time. Undeniably quirky at first, his care to us is something I don’t think we could get anywhere else. Brutally honest and direct when you deserve it, always holds faith in who he takes on.

Coach Pete is a big reason why I came to Marist. He has tremendous knowledge and experience in the sport, and he is very good at communicating with his athletes. He's just a great guy in general. I believe that any athlete here on this team would say that they're proud to have such a great coach and proud to be a red fox.

Pete is more than an amazing and knowledgable coach. He takes the time to get to know you as an athlete and also just as a person. He has you help him understand what you think works for you training wise and then adds in his elements as a seasoned coach. I couldn't ask for a better coach who is both brutally honest and considerate.

Coach Pete is much more than a coach to a lot of people on the team. He does what he can to accomodate our needs, and brings us all a lot closwer to one another. He'll be perfectly honest and frank with you, but in such a way that motivates you to be better next time. As a person he's a lot of fun to work under, and fosters a great environment.

He has been around running for a long time so he has a lot of experience. Although he might be gay everyone accepts him, he is also a little weird but other than that he is cool. were not a very good team but I came here to run because it is easy to run here not for the coach.
