"Whilst he is clearly knowledgeable about tennis, having been a former college athlete, Coach Dokken has opted to not share any of that knowledge. He is likely the most unmotivated, disinterested, and perhaps the most disingenuous coach I have ever had the opportunity to play under. He came into a program that had potential to make a play in the PSAC, however, his inability to manage, perform basic coaching-related duties, and his complete absence both emotionally, intellectually, and physically, has brought the team down to one that can barely put a full team on the court. Whilst there are numerous issues, Coach Dokken has shown he is not interested in fixing any of them, effectively using his Psychology degree to toy with players in order to keep them at the program until it’s too late, promising things that have emerged as completely false or non-existent. Overall, as an athlete but also as a person, I would ask that no player voluntarily compete under the tutelage of Coach Dokken, unless they enjoy stagnation and zero effort."

"He couldn’t care less about the tennis program. He had a pretty decent team to start when he became a coach for Shepherd and destroyed it. Guys had been last on the conference for years now and girls will definitely be next season. He’s not a good coach, practices are a joke. He sucks at recruiting. He isn’t even capable of ordering two t-shirts (which is all the gear that we get btw) Team is toxic and he does hold a good amount of responsibility for that."

"He is the worse coach I have ever have. He doesn’t care about his players at all, has a double standard for the players and doesn’t do his job. He is not able to order a uniform, so all you get for the whole year are 2 tshirts. His recruiting skills are below zero. All of his good players transfer. If you don’t want to ruin your mental health don’t join the team. The school is amazing and has so much potential but the tennis coach is so bad. Also because of our coach the school doesn’t really care about the tennis team in general. In conclusion it is so bad I would give him a 0, but thats not possible so I give him a 1. "
