"David was the WORST coach I have ever had in all the years of playing, he was demeaning, rude, lacked compassion and took every opportunity to beat us down. He would call me, other teammates and even coaches stupid, retarded and the list goes on. Would make us run for the entirety of practices, throw equipment if upset and would not care if an injury occurred. David made it his mission to have us fear him and would proceed by saying he was untouchable with the university so there was nothing we could do about it. I would NOT recommend him or his program… STAY AWAY! "
"I transferred to FGCU and have found nothing but success under Coach Goodson and her program. She cares about her athletes and wants everyone to succeed. You’re not going to fund a more understanding coach that is willing to put the athlete first at the division one level"
"I transferred to FGCU because I could tell Dave cared about his team's success, but also that the team culture was made up of positive people that want to lift each other up. He was always there when I needed him and he pushed me to be the best I can be! Dave will push you to be uncomfortable but in a way that helps you achieve your goals."
"Expects a lot, but if you show up, he'll show up for you every time. Won't lie in the recruiting process. He's tough, and you have to earn your spot every time. "
"Brutal experience playing for this coach, lacks knowledge of the game, and works players to the point of injury. Completely unreasonable and lied through the recruiting process."
"He does not know how to motivate his players. He believes playing mind games with them is how he can get them to do what he wants. He is very disorganized, often changing practice plans hours or less before hand. "
"Cares a lot about her players and team closeness but can be manipulative. Be careful with your words in front of her because she will use them against you. If you are always positive you are fine but the second you show any type of negative emotion she will hold you to that for the rest of your career. "
