"If you enjoy eating gas station food before games, a coach not caring about you or your health at all, or someone who does not understand how to coach different players outside of his cookie cutter mold then Rob is the guy for you. With him as my coach I experienced the most mentally and physically draining time of my life, I do not recommend anyone to go through what my teammates and I did."

"He does not care about anything or anyone but himself and his prestige. He embellishes his accolades and talks about himself ad nausiem. He will lie to your face and die on whatever hill he believes will benefit himself. He seeks only to manipulate administrators, coaches, players, and parents to believe he is a nice, personable guy. Still, if you ask anyone who has worked with him in the latter years of his career, they would deny every positive thing said about him in these reviews and his autobiographies. "

"If you enjoy being miserable and losing then Robert Podeyn is your dream coach. He has no knowledge of the game and the only advice he takes is from his wife who has 0 soccer experience. Robert is the last person I would want to watch over my daughter when I sent her to college. He is selfish and pushes his responsibilities on players and downgrades his assistant coaches. If you need any other reason not to play for Robert Podeyn then just take a look at his record."

"This coach has done nothing but take a group of girls and fail to lead. He has forced them to run beyond their limit to simply feel a sort of power. He not only mentally degrades players, but is also a terrible soccer coach. This team has gotten more fit, yes, but soccer skilled? No. This coach has no sense of “Soccer IQ”- something he says we lack despite the fact that this team has less wins in the past 3 year under Podeyn than there are letters in Podeyn. No player under Rob Podeyn would say kind things about him. While he is currently under investigation hes tugging at strings to help aid in his reasons for keeing a job. He should never be allowed to coach at Nicholls State again. "

"This is the one coach I would tell you to never be associated with. He is incredibly mentally and emotionally abusive. His narcissism and obvious bipolar symptoms affect you so much more than just on the field. He is a pathological liar and tries his hardest to break you down to manipulate you into doing and thinking whatever he wants you to. He will make you lose your love for the sport while making you hate everything about yourself and your life."

"Absolute worst “coach” I’ve ever had. Coaching is a talent that he does not posses. Any good thing ever said about him was written solely by him so do not believe the lies he bases his “coaching” on. He’s lied to multiple players, manipulated everyone in his path, and has left an outstanding negative impact on every person he’s encountered. Maybe he’s a good person, but in the position he holds, maybe he should bring his talents into a new field other than womens sports. "

"This is one of the worst coaches I have ever had. He believes in manipulating his players so he can get them to do whatever he says. He’ll run players until they throw up as part of this manipulation and says he enjoys it. He is inconsiderate and overall a bad person. Do not play for him or he’ll make you lose the love of your sport. He also actively turns the players on the team against each other. "

"1 star is generous. This coach is a complete narcissist. The players don’t trust him he says one thing to their face and turns around and does the complete opposite. The mental game this coach plays with the players is awful. This team will never perform well with him as the head coach. He has no respect for his players. Nicholls needs to wake up and fire this coach. "

"He is a coach who is more motivated to win for himself to look good and not to develop players. He uses running as punishment while screaming that his players are stupid and morons. He never takes tim to tell players what they do wrong. He is petty and immature and does not know how to coach the best. "
