"Coach Plourde cares about you as a human being first and foremost. Yes, he wants to win ballgames but he also wants you to leave Skidmore a better person than you were when you entered, and that’s the essence of D3 sports. He’s created a culture of love, work ethic, and radiant energy that strengthens us as a team. "

"Coach has changed a ton over the past 4 years. He is now able to relate to his players much better and he has created a family-like culture. Our level of intensity and work ethic has also sky-rocketed over the past few seasons (also thanks to assistant Coach Mick). "

"Hard to want to play for -- shows very little emotion during/before games. The willingness to play for a coach among players is a huge asset to winning ballgames and Coach Plourde just doesn't have that fire."

"Ron is a great guy and is very supportive of his players. He was honest with his recruiting and gives all of his players a fair chance. He is somewhat hard to relate to (which I think is ok for a coach). My biggest complaint was that I don't feel many players get better throughout their time at Skidmore, and if they do it is on their own time and not with the coaching staff. Also, in-game management can be occasionally frustrating."

"Coach Plourde has an unmatched love for the game of baseball. His attention to detail and investment in each player is unlike any coach I have played for. Coach Plourde truly cares about each player on the team, and wants each player to improve as an individual both on and off the field. If you trust the system, you'll have an amazing four years at Skidmore."
