"Coach Mac struggles with roster control, bringing on up to 16 freshman at a time while simultaneously struggling with retention rate. His training schedule is fairly inconsistent, and he oftentimes chooses poor times to lift (such as in the early morning before a difficult workout). The team is not competitive for a D1 program, which is evident by its lack of training facilites and knowledgeable coaching staff. In addition, many athletes struggle with overuse injuries. When dealing with injuries, Mac takes an “all or nothing” approach, which can be difficult when trying to recover from injury or illness. Many athletes become injured and be questioned about their honest regarding their health status. Finally, Coach Macfarlane’s personality and temperament will shift between extremes throughout the course of a week, days, or even hours. His favoritism towards athletes who preform well and are not injured is extremely evident, and creates a large amount of tension among teammates. While I believe that he truly cares about his athletes, he oftentimes promotes toxic behaviors and fosters an unwelcoming and unsportsmanlike environment. When visiting I would make sure to talk to several of the athletes and ask questions about his coaching style to ensure that you are compatible. "
