"Coach Ozturk cares deeply and passionately for his players success on and off the field. He holds his student athletes to a high standard and pushes them to achieve their maximum potential. He creates a fun environment by having a good balance of working on the sport but also fun activities and team building exercises. Unmatched game preparation, the GLIAC is arguably the most competitive D2 conference in the nation and he has taken a team that has struggled in conference play to now being competitive in the conference. A true players coach that is empathetic to players while pushing them to strive for greatness in everything they do. "

Direct Intense Disorganized Fitness Is Important Poor Communication

"If you care about your mental health at all, find a different coach. You’ll lose the love of the sport and be pitted against your friends. While he did care a lot about fitness, he attempted to motivate by name calling at practices and running until youre hurt. Makes people run through asthma attacks and directly after throwing up. "

Intense Disorganized Fitness Is Important Knows The Game Poor Communication

"He is mentally and emotionally abusive to his players and regularly threatens to kick them off the team and take away scholarships . He also pits players against each other on and off the field. He gets involved with/starts drama between players through manipulation and asking players to give him information about other players. If a player is asked and fails to share information, there can be serious repercussions. Despite coaching at a very academically challenging university, he believes sports should come before school work. The ONLY cares about winning and not the wellbeing of his players physically, mentally, and academically. This causes his players to have extreme burnout and rapid decline towards the end of the season. Also, despite being made aware of the fact that players feel this way, he continues this horrible behavior. "

Knowledgeable Believes In You Helps With Career Knows The Game Passionate About Coaching

"Turk is one of the best coaches that I have ever had. He has had the experience of coaching at every level and that experience shows with his knowledge of the game. I had the privilege of being a captain for Turk and truly showed me the belief that he has in his players capabilities. Does he care about winning? Of course, I wouldn’t want to play for a coach that doesn’t want to win. However, his priority is always his athletes and I have seen that first hand. Turk coached me at the semi-professional level and helped me pursue a goal of playing professionally. I would not have been able to get there without him. Through all the teams I have played for, I still come back to Turk being one of the best coaches I have ever had regardless of level. If you have the opportunity to play for Turk, you can’t go wrong. He will truly help you and your team reach new heights! "
