UNH has been very lucky to have held on to him for over a decade. He has been very successful and has done so with class and integrity. His teams always compete at the very top of the conference and excel in the classroom. It would be very difficult to match what he has done.

Absolutely atrocious . Understands the game but incapable of relaying that info - which is critical for quality coaching . Abusive to players and thin skinned so cuts down anyone who bruises his ego . Has kicked players off the team because of it - so either placate his abusive culture or lose your spot .

Had parents come in to his office every week that would complain about playing time then they would instantly start/ get more playing time. Did not care about injuries would assume you were lying about being injured/ would still try to start people who were injured depending on the injury. Would act like he cared about players but when he would ask a question about you he wouldn’t even listen to your response. He would act cool with you around other people but as soon as you had a 1 on 1 meeting with him he would tear your entire life apart whether it was about soccer, school, you as a person, your health/ mental health etc. Very obvious who is favorites on the team are he would have random personal meeting with them during the week or before/after practice. The drills he does are very repetitive, some drills were good but others he would make up and they didn’t make a lot of sense and he would spend 1-1.5 hours on the same drill at practice. The assistant coaches don’t really have a day at all they just go with what steve says, sometimes assistant coaches and head coach would often contradict each other. The team was very cliquey which had a lot to do with the head coach as well. He would very much separate the starters and non starters and it would create a lot of drama. Overall, he was a completely different person from meeting him for a visit to actually committing and going there.

Coach Welham is the second coach I have played for at UNH and feel lucky to be a player under him. He didn't recruit me, but treats us all with respect and wants the best for us as athletes and people beyond athletics
