Fitness Is Important Poor Communication Respectful To Players

"Look, this is a classic english manager. He’s not a bad guy, though quite unprofessional and untrustworthy, but his understanding of psychology, tactics, and overall football management is exactly what you’d expect (non-existent). He has phrases such as “football is 90% fitness” and “if you outrun the opponent, you’re guaranteed a win!” It’s no wonder why his team is finishing last place every season; he doesn’t understand how to put a team together. Not a bad guy per say, but not responsible, nor open-minded. "

"Dan is handcuffed a bit by being a coach at an art school but he is an awesome person. He knows his stuff and will work with layers to get them motivated and eager to play. Dan also loves the athletic department and is nice to all the athletes. Some coaches really just care about their sport or even go as far as to talk down at the female sports but not Dan. Great guy!"

Believes In You Easy To Get Along With Great Leader Positive Person Respectful To Players

"Hannah is an awesome coach and really does know her stuff. She pitched at the college she started coaching at and was a huge addition to the coaching staff. Hannah gets along with players and because she played so recently she knows the current game. A lot of coaches are stuck in their ways and don't grow with the game but Coach Balke does! She's awesome and a great pitching coach."

"Alex had/has no business coaching softball. You can be a decent player and a horrible coach and she is the perfect example of that. She took accomplishments of her players that had zero to do with her and acted as though it was all her. No coach at the college level should be preaching "squish the bug" and then claim they know everything there is to know about hitting. I feel like our entire team got worse by having her for barley a single season."
