Accessible Cool Direct Intense Old School Mentality
"Not a positive-growth motivator. Pushes players by shaming them, punishing them, gaslighting them with unfulfilled promises, lies & false compliments, Says one thing, does another. Coach’s choice of words and actions underscore a very unhealthy mental health culture (2019-current). Players are also expected to keep quiet and told that their friends & family can’t be trusted with knowing what’s going on behind the scenes, and threatened if they do. Run, don’t walk. Not to be trusted if you’re looking for a positive d1 experience with a staff that truly cares about player development on & off field. "
