"The team went from 50+ rowers my freshman year to barely enough to compete at Patriots by my senior year. Patrick does not have adequate knowledge of the sport or coaching skills in general. Most of the people who continue are novices who have not experienced rowing in any other form and don't see that he is not coaching effectively. "
"Patrick has an unfortunate tendency to play favorites with athletes, based on personality rather than performance. Those he likes will get the coaching and attention they need to eventually perform well while those who he doesn't like, don't. He pretends to listen to athlete concerns in individuals meetings but when it comes to actually making changes when athletes have concerns, forget it because it's his way or the highway. He is stuck in training methods that are inefficient as well."
"Patrick is incredibly knowledgeable about the sport of rowing, and puts time and effort into understanding what makes the boats go fastest. He expects the best of his team--he insists upon perfection from his rowers, which results in a highly focused team with long-term goals. Although people have had issues with his communication, he is dedicated to the overall well-being of each of his rowers. His coaching focuses on the basics, which leads to boats that row efficiently and effectively."
"I have been injured all season and Patrick did not make much of an effort to stay connected; he barely even said hi or asked how school was going. Overall I think he means well, but has not done a good job of effectively implementing his plans. We have a lot of injured people on the team from erging every day during winter training, however he continues to believe that erging is the best thing to stay in shape. He refuses to compromise on cross training. I believe he has potential but needs work"
