"-Was not fair -Hyper focused on a select 2-3 swimmers -I never felt comfortable around him -Always said school was important, but I was punished if I missed a practice because of my class schedule -I don’t feel as though he made it feel like an inviting team culture "

"Unfortunately he was very condescending and rude to me during my time on SCSU swim and dive. Certainly has an old school mentality and does not understand men’s mental health. Humiliated me at our first meet of the 2022-2023 season. He is not a dive coach and yet he still thinks he understands the sport of diving. At the first meet of 2022 he did not watch my warm ups before the competition, I was struggling with one of the dives on my list. Sadly I was not able to complete the dove during the competition. Immediately after the dive was failed he came over to me and screamed in my face “what are you doing?!!” My competitors, the spectators, and teammates all agreed it was a nasty move. Wish I knew earlier that athletes are able to sue coaches for humiliation. "

"Amazing Coach and mentor!!! He isn't just a coach but a father figure, counselor, and teacher. He makes his athletes his top priority and wants them to be better people not just better athletes. He was the reason I attended St Cloud and glad I did!"

"He is one of the best Swim coaches I've ever had!"

"Jeff knows and makes sure you understand that you are a student before an athlete. If you are not doing well in the class room you will not be able to practice until you get everything together. We have grade cards to get filled every couple of weeks so no student has the excuse of "I don't know what my grade is." Jeff is very fair and an outstanding coach. He really pushes to make relationships with each and every swimmer and diver on the team."
