Believes In You Creates A Great Team Culture Fitness Is Important Knows The Game Positive Person
The proof is on the pudding with this coach. His player love him and his style of football. He has changed around a losing team and has a very high level of knowledge of the game and how to get his players to understand his brand of football. He has created a great culture.

Poor Communication
Great at recruiting but not upfront and honest. He leads players on with non deliverables. He does not have the character to be truthful with his players. His reward for the returning playing who won him the conference title was to ride the bench only started 2 players from the winning lineup. His lack of substitutions and rotation utilizing the depth of the bench reflects with his lack of soccer knowledge. His coaching style is for the moment and to get him to a D1 school regardless of integrity with his players.

Fitness Is Important Poor Communication
Listen to the athletes reviews prior, perfect depiction of this coach. From a parent’s perspective, the kick over the top style of soccer was hard to watch especially since my son was very technical. He plays his favorites, forces upper class men out or decreases playing time drastically, Brings in a large recruiting class but few make it through the year. Should not be a leader of young men, sets a poor example of what a coach should be. Players never know exactly where they stand unless you are the one or two favorites. He is a great recruiter, doesn’t care about athletes off the field.

Disorganized Poor Communication
Recruits 20-30 hopefuls only to get rid of most of them when they arrive. I believe part of his pay is commissions on recruiting guys he has no intention of ever letting on the team. Does not develop players and has little communication with players. Once commissions start to dwindle, he forces upper class men out. Has no interest of developing a winning program or putting the best team on the field. Kick and run style. If you want to play college, I would look elsewhere to have a better experience.

Does not develop players. Has bias preseason and selects his team largely before season. Poor soccer knowledge. No style outside of kick and run of U9/10 year olds. Limited substitutions - like said prior he picks his season's eye candy and forces all others off the team. Many players forces out.
