"John creates an environment where everyone is involved and everyone’s voice is heard. Always making sure that we have all the resources and allowing us to grow together as a team has really impacted us to grow not only as players but as people."

"John is both a great coach as well as a great person. You get a sense of how much he cares for his players on and especially off the field. He is an extremely understanding person and truly wants the best for all his players. Practices can get pretty intense but that’s why he is such a great coach, as he really pushes you to be your best."

"John is one of the best coaches I have ever played for and one of the most caring people I have met. Off the field he will be your biggest fan and will always be there to help you no matter what. On the field he isn’t afraid to tell you the truth but that is only because he wants to see you reach your fullest potential. John expects a lot out of his players both on the field and in the classroom. And if you aren’t reaching his expectations he will be the first person to help you figure it out and get on track. John has completely turned this program around from where it was when I first started. The team culture is very important and he makes sure that we all stick together no matter what. "

"John really knows the game and how it should be played. It implements the importance of possession soccer which is important. Overall great guy. "

"He can come off as very intense and direct but he cares a lot about the program and the well-being of his athletes. He makes it aware that if you ever need anything you should always reach out. "
