"Neil Stafford is a FRAUD. He dresses like a coach. He talks like a coach. He is, however, FAR from a coach to the point it is a disgrace to the word "coach". Despite his own high self-assessment of himself, he is a failure in everything he does in this capacity. He may have inherited some decent teams in the past, or been an assistant on successful teams -but he is wholly incapable of actually coaching. He single-handedly has caused numerous girls to quit the game -and not because of a system he established (he knows close to nothing about the actual game), or because his training was too difficult (sitting around listening to him brag about himself is far from difficult) - but because he has the audacity to literally attack the heart and sole of girls' confidence. He's pathetic. I wouldn't allow him to get near my kids. He is a FRAUD. "

"Incredibly verbally abusive man. Berated players, humiliated and ostracized them too. On top of that, he hires an assistant coach that has had past affairs with players and has been fired from previous schools for it. He will manipulate you and your family into believing he has your best interests at heart. I can promise you, he does not. He has ruined careers and torn down self images. Do. Not. Play. For. Him. Ever. Under any circumstance. Terrible person."

"The worst person I have ever had in charge of leading me. He is extremely degrading and will treat you as poorly as you let him. I don’t know how he got into the profession of leading young women but he claims that his goal is to bring them up and he does the opposite. You will not leave a better soccer player than you came in."
