"Coach Russ is a nice individual, but only pays attention to high-performing athletes / discourages any other campus involvements besides cross country and track. You will get penalized if you participate in Greek life or other campus organizations. Generally, he is not the most motivational coach and does not care about your personal goals."

"Despite dry humor and a somewhat reserved personality, Russ has transformed my outlook on college athletics. Sometimes being über motivational and outspoken isn’t always the best thing to look for in a coach; rather, a coach who genuinely cares about his athletes and their overall improvement."

"Usually answers very quickly, but not tech savvy. You have to show effort if you want to get further attention from him. Not for everyone, but I personally think he's super interesting and love hanging out with him. Is brutally honest if you show you want feedback. Comes off as reserved if you don't know him, very intense if you do. Has previously and still to this day is surrounded by/ trained with/ coaches olympic level coaches. really depends on the person."
