"After transferring from a VERY toxic team and coaching environment, coming to MSU’s soccer team was a breath of fresh air. I have received nothing but respect from all the coaches, players, and staff involved with the Wsoc team at this school. Spence is one of the few coaches I can name that is truly invested in his team and creating a winning environment. I have only good things to say about my experience playing for Spence. If you are looking for a program where you are more than just a jersey number this is the place for you. "

"Spence is passionate about the game. He pushes his players to be the best they can be."

"Was not impressed with Spence from the first time we met him. Said things that the average soccer parent would know is BS but our daughter decided this was where our daughter wanted to go despite being recruited by other larger schools. But the more concerning issue is once our daughter arrived, there was next to zero emotional support from him or his staff towards our daughter or any of the players and when those concerns were brought to his attention by the players, he blamed them for the issues and took no responsibility (according to other parents). Used only negative reinforcement to try and motivate players and as a result has had multiple players quit and/or transfer to other schools after the fall session. IMO he needs more experience coaching female players at the club level before being a Women's college level coach. Also, not sure he understands the women's game. We were hoping for more considering he was "LSC Coach of the Year" but wondering if it was because of the female assistant that left to take a HC position. Buyer beware."
