"Coach Roberts is passionate, warm/approachable, supportive, and successful. He was one of the main reasons that attracted our daughter to SIU. He was great with her and us as a family. He was interested in her well-being and not just her potential as an athlete. He creates a positive team culture through team building, and uses praise and positive reinforcement to get the best out of his players."
"An experienced tactician; knows the game very well, and navigates player-personnel matters with due consideration of context and with the right measures of encouragement and correction. I've only ever observed the most positive interactions. He coaches with a keen awareness of individual and team development, immediate and long-term goals, and constructive responsiveness to all concerns, both on and off the field. "
"I didn’t get to work with coach Craig for much time, but the time that he was here was very beneficial. He made college soccer feel less scary coming in as a freshman and it was clear from the start that he knew a lot and was very eager to teach us his ways. He was always positive and proved that he cared about his players from the beginning. I learned a lot from coach Craig in a very short amount of time, so I would strongly recommend coach Craig. "
"I had the pleasure of being coached by coach Roberts for a few weeks, but in that time I saw myself become a much better player, he’s a very smart coach who knows the game well and something that’s important to him which benefited our team is having a good team bond. "
"Coach Roberts was always committed to try to try to improve the quality of each practice session and game. He wanted to push each player to reach its maximum level."
"I brought my niece to his training sessions and I was taking back, knows his stuff and my niece has come back with some knowledge. 10/10 would recommend."
"I coached in the youth system affiliated w Coach Roberts’ staff. He’s extremely knowledgeable in terms of tactics and communication. He’s great with kids, respectful of his adult players, and builds a great atmosphere."
"Very knowledgeable of the game and prepares his team to win. Coach Roberts is great at choosing the right tactics against opponents to give his team the best chance to win."
"Personally, I had a very good experience with Craig as my coach during my time at Ball State. Though I had teammates who felt otherwise, I feel a major problem was the fact that Craig was extremely direct with his communication and did not excuse/take it easy on players who did not follow team rules and expectations…but honestly, my prior coach before I came to Ball State was much much worse. He truly exhibited sexist behavior and verbal/emotional abuse. Craig was always respectful towards me and was an actual caring coach who wanted to maximize my experience on and off the pitch. For me, Craig revitalized my passion for soccer and led our team to great success. Yes, I feel Craig needs to improve on his ability to control his temper and think before he speaks to players and referees, but I do not think he deserves to be labeled as abusive. When I look back on my collegiate experience, I believe Craig was someone who was a positive light on my athletic and academic experience. Though others have shared differing opinions, this is my honest feedback on MY experience. "
