"I had the opportunity to play for Coach Paul for two seasons, as well as be one of his team captain's during my time. Coach Paul is the embodiment of what it means to be a good Christian man, leader, and coach. He coached SAGU women's soccer not only to be the best players they can be but to be the best Christians and women we could be. I was there at the same time as all the other girls that are bringing him down in the reviews. Some of the things being said about Coach Paul are untrue and incredibly sad to see. Coach Paul never did anything that was not in the best interest for us as his players. Everything he did was for us and our benefit. In my experience, Coach Paul has been an amazing influence in mine and other people's lives. He values his relationships with his players, and makes sure that he was not just a coach for his players but also a mentor. He created meaningful and purposeful relationships with each and every one of his players. Off the field, coach Paul was there for every player in their times of need, no matter what it may be. He is understanding, and he gave multiple players opportunity after opportunity because he understands that everyone is human. He made sure that each player was successful in the classroom. He checked in with us often just to see how we were doing mentally. Coach Paul is personally responsible for my growth in my relationship with God. I would not be the Christian woman I am today without him and his guidance, and I know I'm not the only one. Coach Paul is a huge reason that I am successful today. He personally took me from an average player, to a player who is now playing soccer at the Division 1 level. He develops his players into amazing athletes and people. Coach Paul took this team from a team that other teams didn't have to worry about and changed us into a team that made history, that went to national, and that scared other teams. He makes trainings intentional and important, and he focuses on overall growth of each player. He gave us tips to make us better players. He focuses on the little details of soccer, the things that most people wouldn't even think make a difference, but they do. He made practices fun, the atmosphere was energetic and positive. He came to practice everyday with a smile on his face; anything that may have been going on in his personal life, he left it off the field so that he could be the best coach for his team. Coach Paul is selfless and loving. He sets standards for the team that benefit us, and some people were unable to meet those standards. Most of these other reviews are absolutely heinous, and are incredibly disgusting and false. To play soccer at the college level, there are going to be hardships. Coaches have to be tough on their players in college, it's the expectation. The players leaving nasty reviews are players that were removed from the team due to not meeting the standards required to be apart of a Christian college team. The whole coaching staff at SAGU was incredible. Coach Paul made sure we had the best assistant coach, Natalie Solorio, so that we could be successful and understood. She also embodied what it means to be an amazing Christian and woman. She was there for us on deeper levels, she was a coach on the field, and a friend and mentor off the field. She is a role model for every player she coaches. They built our team on relationship, trust, joy, compassion, and connection. Coach Paul was never mentally, physically, verbally, or sexually abusive to ANY of his players on or off the field. Those are incredibly false allegations that should not be thrown around lightly. In no way did any of our coaching staff EVER permit eating disorders. We were encouraged to fuel our bodies correctly, from the food we ate to the electrolytes we drank before games. We were never put down about our weight, size, appearance, or personality in any way. He was never physically harmful to us in any way whatsoever. He was never mentally harmful to us whatsoever. The coaches made sure our mental health was good, and that we were safe and happy. Being a college athlete is a mental battle, and they knew that, and were always cognizant of what we were going through. There are expectations in a competitive college athletic environment that have to be met. If there were no standards then we never would've had the success we had. The players who are coming on here and commenting negative things are the players who could not meet the standards that were required to be a competitive college athlete. Coach Paul would climb mountains in order to make his players successful and make sure we were happy. For anyone to say otherwise is truly unbelievable. I am not the only player who could go on about the positive things that coach Paul has done for them. Coach Paul genuinely cares about every soul he comes in contact with, and gives everyone nothing but the best from him. Any player would be lucky to have him as their coach, and I am incredibly thankful and lucky for the two seasons I had with him as my coach. -Lydia Johnson"

"I was a team leader for the Sagu women's soccer team for three years, I can confidently say that Paul Hason is a Godly man who genuinely cares about his players and their lives. He consistently pushed us to reach our maximum potential, helping us achieve our goals, just as he did for me. I shared the same locker room with all my teammates, who are now defaming him and his coaching style. However, in my experience, he always put God first in every meeting, practice, and game. Paul created a unique relationship with each player, ensuring we all felt part of a close family. When some players faced financial difficulties that could prevent them from completing their degrees, Paul did everything in his power to support them and enable them to finish their studies, putting their well-being first. He helped numerous players, even those who went against him. I find the negative comments about him insane and sad. It seems some are trying to ruin his life simply because they disagreed with the standards of a team built on love, joy, and, most importantly, a God-centered approach. His coaching staff, including assistant coach Natalie Solorio, always cared for our mental health. As female athletes, we needed a different type of care, so Natalie closely followed up on matters related to our well-being. If I ever needed advice on any aspect of my life, I would undoubtedly contact Paul Hason. He is a wise man who saw our potential not just as soccer players but as human beings. His purpose was to plant seeds in our hearts, guiding us to become Christ followers with a greater purpose in life. The way he impacted my life was tremendous and genuine, both as a person and as a coach. I am 100% certain that my teammates agree with this sentiment. Paul is one of the main reasons why I also aspire to be a coach and positively impact people's lives, regardless of the context. He taught me invaluable lessons that extended far beyond coaching and into navigating life's challenges. Paul was a role model, and thanks to his commitment to putting the team first and the decisions he made, we achieved a historic goal by reaching nationals for the first time in 8 years. He believed in us, he believed in me, and he believed in his coaching staff. Paul's guidance and influence were truly transformative, shaping our athletic abilities, personal growth, and spiritual development. Throughout my time with Coach Paul Hason, I never once felt attacked, sexualized, emotionally abused, or anything remotely similar to negative comments found on this website from players who are bitter because they were removed from the team, friends of these players, and even parents of them. After reading my post, I wouldn't be surprised if these players found a website and complained about me. On the contrary, he actively supported me in completing my degree at SAGU, and finding opportunities to work, study, and pursue my master's degree. And I was not the only one; he went above and beyond for the entire team, making our safety, future, and relationship with God his top priorities. More than just a coach, Paul Hason was a friend, a mentor, a guiding light, and an influential figure in our lives. He embodied the qualities of a true role model and leader, inspiring us to reach our full potential on and off the field. -Paula Moreno"

"He may know how to play soccer, but he is an awful coach. He has no business even being apart of a Christian university such as SAGU, let alone allowed to be coaching a women’s team. No matter how many complaints have been brought up against him, both to HR and the Athletic Director, he somehow manages to retain his position. If I would have had the guts to do it, I would have called the police on multiple occasions for his perverted, disgusting, and unethical behavior. Though unfortunately, I’m sure they still wouldn’t have been able to do much about it. Honestly, him being allowed to coach at SAGU tells you a lot about how the university is ran and the behavior they allow, but sweep under the rug in attempt to put up this facade that we are such a perfect and safe university. Just know, if you choose to be coached by him…expect to be humiliated, beat down, sexualized, and emotionally abused. "

"There is so much I could say about Paul Hason, but no one wants to read a 10 page essay about why I think he’s sucks, so i’ll just say this: If you value your mental health, he isn’t the coach for you. If you are not white or hispanic, he isn’t the coach for you. If you are shapely/over about 130 pounds, he isn't the coach for you. If you value authentic christianity, good character, morals, and overall human decency, he isn’t the coach for you. If not, have fun I guess… Choose him at your own risk. You’ve been warned."

"Very aggressive with his speaking style; likes to record audio without you knowing; cannot take a joke; will kick you off if you don’t like being called fat; will call you out for having a bad relationship with your dad; doesn’t like retaliation (don’t forget it’s illegal to kick someone off for retaliation!); almost sent someone home on a mission trip from Egypt because he didn’t like the player calling out his son for repeating the N-word; believes his wife can teach speaking in tongues; will call you broke and then ask you to pay for a 5k mission trip; they, as a coaching staff, prompt eating disorders. There’s so much more… Rip to all players that were ever under him"

"He lied about me so that he could kick me off the team after he found out I reported him to Human Resources for: abusing us as players, threatening to send one of my teammates home ALONE from Cairo, Egypt, after his son made a racist comment and she raised her voice at him; he recorded our conversations in our locker room while the door was shut without him being present or getting our consent or even telling us what he was doing when he said “place the phone in the floor by [a players] feet”(heard from the recording he later showed us) (illegal according to Texas Penal Code, Section 16.02, and Article 18A.001 of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure), offering up details about a player’s personal life including defamation of her families character, making racist comments against Hispanic culture (including, but not limited to, the direct quote “Mexican’s have bad relationships with their fathers”), disclosing to the whole team the amounts of scholarships specific students lost due to breaking the code of conduct, physically lunging at various players in the middle of halftime and verbally assaulting them, and calling every player’s parents and significant others “toxic” and saying they could not be trusted to help players make decisions about their future— but that’s not even the whole 5+ page report. He’s still at it, too. He had an entire practice without any athletic trainer present (Fall 23 season) where they worked solely on headers which he shot at their heads, and he would not allow players to stop taking headers even though they were getting dizzy or physically hurt. In my entire time on that team, not a single player felt comfortable telling Paul Hason or Natalie Solorio that they were hurt because of how negatively they responded to the players. He has a good amount of knowledge for goalkeepers, but not enough knowledge to coach an entire team. On top of that, no player who comes to this team leaves a better player. He recruits players for the way that they are and does not help them grow. His coaching of female players is terrible. One player had her nose broken during the first game of the fall season 2022 and her first game back in the goal he told her to not care about what she has to do to get that ball out of the goal, even yelling “you bring your knee up and smash her in the face if that is what it takes”. I am not sure how well he coached men, but he is not meant to coach female players. He claims that coaching female players is what he needs because of the relationship with the players that comes from it, but his knowledge of the female brain, hormonal system, or coaching methods is not broad enough to be fulfill those desires."

"If I could give this awful man a 0 I would. He is abusive in all ways. A very hateful and disgusting human if you would even say that he is human. If you or anyone you love is being recruited by him get as far away ad possibly. "
