"Embraced coaching me from the start. Shared his own personal equipment with me to try and help me accomplish my goals (altitude tent, gear, training partners, etc). One of the nicest people I have ever been involved with in the sport. Took his own personal time to go above and beyond to get myself and others to races and workouts. Would recommend him to coach anyone who was interested in being a better runner. "
"Coach Giambanco is a passionate, caring and committed coach. His coaching style fosters a great team environment, and at same time his training is very individualized to each athlete. Coach Giambanco cares about his athletes as both athletes and people. His success is evidenced by the drastic improvement of his team members from high school into their careers in the NCAA. Since taking over as coach, Coach Giambanco has made great strides in helping the program to grow and become successful, and with time the success will continue to grow. "
"I had the opportunity to have Vince coach me post collegiately through the Citius Running Team and I appreciate his dedication and commitment. Vince went above and beyond to plan training and workouts that were tailored to my individual needs, while always being responsive to my feedback. Together we learned and grew as a team. The foundation that Vince helped to lay enabled me to run a 2:34 marathon later in my career, but more importantly Vince taught me embrace the love for the process. "
"Coach Vince’s guidance helped my development and growth as a runner on the women’s cross country team at Long Island University.
He was always extremely positive and encouraging at practices and races. After coming back from a hip injury, he would cheer me on during our tough workouts which really motivated me to push myself and get better. It is very clear he cares about his athletes and their wellbeing! Our women’s team won the conference championship with the help of Coach Vince, one of my favorite memories as a runner!"
"Coach Giambanco is one of the only coaches I know that does the most for his athletes. Makes sure they get the get on the best running surfaces by taking them to trails all throughout Long Island, gives specific training plans catered to each individual athlete, and strategically uses his limited resources to make sure the athletes can be successful. He is very understanding when it comes to injuries and is able to facilitate a great team culture with the combined program. A coach like this is very hard to find at the college level. "
"Coach is a good man. He knows everything there is to know about distance running, and is obsessed with the sport. He has taken the program from the bottom of the conference and region to the top half and developed many elite individuals. At first I wasn't a fan but over time I realized he was just holding an extremely high standard which he did for himself as well and genuinely wanted us to be successful. Coach didn't recruit me but I am glad hofstra hired him in and grateful for the impact he had on me and the program. I am a proud alumni and donate back to the program to support my now friend, Vince. I could have never fathomed what our program has become."
"Was fun , was there 3 years and had the best time of my life ! Developed as an athlete and a leader ! I was the team captain and got to work with him and knew him from a personal and professional level ! Took me from. 14:30 5km runner to 13:24 in 3 years !."
"Coach Giambanco has always went above and beyond in trying to make sure all of his athletes race at their best level. He does this by creating a serious but enjoyable team culture and by communicating with each athlete individually to make sure they get the best training for what they need. Coach giambanco is also very passionate about coaching and takes his work seriously. "
"He goes above and beyond to elevate the team experience and fights harder than any coach in the athletic department to make things happen for the cross country team. They would not have added a track team without his efforts. He helps the individual reach their goals athletically and academically if you can park your ego and listen to instructions, work hard, and show dedication. Any set backs I had were self-inflicted, when I let go of what I thought worked for me and believed in the training plan day in and out, I ran the best I ever had and made All-conference."
"Coach Vince knows how to bring out the best of you. He is motivating and cares about his athletes’ athletic and academic success. With years of experience training Kenya athletes, he knows the exactly what you need to improve and will make sure you work on that on and off the track. I ran my best while training with him and would strongly recommend. My only regret was not running the 10km 2 seconds faster during my XC time at Hofstra. "
"Me and my teammates LOVE Coach Vince. He pours his heart and soul into the program and is above all else a Great Human. He’s kind - but he’s also honest and direct. He holds a high standard and if your not living up to that standard it’s on you. "
