"My experience has been very positive. Coach is understanding and values academics allowing us to miss training if needed to focus on school. He is also always available if you need to speak with him. Very good coach who is extremely knowledgeable about the game. He will hold you accountable to standards, but can play favorites. "

"I have really enjoyed my time playing for coach Burstein. You can tell he puts a lot of time into his job and his knowledge of the game is great. Despite his coaching ability and passion for coaching, he isn’t a great motivator. Once he has established his starters, it’s hard to get on the field which makes it hard to stay motivated. Then he expects you to be fit. Hard to be fit when you don’t play. "

"Coach is sometimes hard to communicate with as I feel he already has his mind made up before you have a conversation with him. He can also play favorites and I think that impacts playing time for some players. His knowledge and understanding of the game is impressive and he is extremely organized and always prepared. He is passionate about his job and he cares deeply about the program. Sometimes he provides information with too much detail and I think it would be better to make things simpler and easy to understand. "

"Details, details, details! Everything with this coach is about details. You are taught your role within the formation, you are given all the coaching you need to be able to execute this role and the environment you are in everyday is competitive and intense. Every player on the team is capable of performing at very high levels. The competition for playing time is intense every year. You have to focus in training, you have to be fit, you have to work hard, you have to know and understand your role and be able to execute at a very high level if you expect to play. This program is very challenging and coach has very high standards and expectations. If you are not willing to do the work and you are not looking to be challenged This is not the program for you. For the right athlete this is an awesome program where you will be pushed, you will have to work hard and you’ll grow incredibly over your time here."

"Very good Women’s soccer program! Extremely well run, but incredibly challenging. Coach Burstein is easily one of the best coaches I have played for. Extremely knowledgeable and beyond prepared. Standards and expectations are very high, so if you go to KU, be prepared to be challenged and be prepared to work. Coach is passionate and deeply cares for the program, its success and the players on the team. He will hold you accountable to the standards that are set, which some people may not like. Hardest part for me, realizing that my teammates were just as good, if not better, then I was. I had always been the best player on my club team and high school team. Got to KU, I was not longer the best. Super hard to deal with, but I managed and I never regret the decision to play at KU. Overall amazing experience. Learned a ton, developed into better player and person, made life long friends. "
