Poor Communication

"Coach Griffin doesn't invest the time to communicate with all his players and doesn't give them the on-going feedback they need to develop organically. His attention span is extremely limited and at the first mistake players make, instead of taking the time to mentor and coach them, he pushes them away, killing their self-esteem. He doesn't care about players beyond his starting 11 and just a handful more. All the others are literally on their own and getting humiliated in front of the team by his behaviors. His changing coaching jobs so frequently speaks volumes about his inability to invest in players long-term and make connections. He is a good coach technically, but very bad emotionally and in the ability to make connections with players. He doesn't inspire his players and doesn't motivate them. "

Motivational Believes In You Cares About Academics Easy To Get Along With Helps With Career

"Although sara has retired from coaching, she was an amazing coach and developed athletes beyond the track in academics, careers and interpersonal skills. Sara personalized training to the individual and cared deeply about each person. She always had a lot on her plate but if you do your part she will go above and beyond for you. Although I was never injured long term, Sara didn’t lose track of the athletes in recovery and made sure they stayed on track to get better me tally and physically. Sara was accommodating with academics and scheduling issues as well. Sara was not available 100% of the time but when she was at practice she was 100% present. If Sara was still coaching today I would recommend to anyone who is self-sufficient but still wants a knowledgable and supportive coach."
