"Mediocre coaching skills… chooses to continually “break” athletes rather than build strengths and long term team cohesiveness. Justifies transfer portal… but look what that got the team in 2023… total lack of cohesive offense. Players are constantly “walking on eggshells”… one wrong move will send them out of the line-up or even off the team, with the exception of the pet players who can do no wrong. Lacks maturity and is threatened by viewpoints that challenge his. Plays mind games with the players in order to see what kind of response he can get. Take a look at the number of players leaving and moving on to other programs before choosing this one. A good player does NOT always translate to good coach!"

"Coach Weinard is by far one of the worst coaches I have ever worked with. He is unorganized, unprofessional, and just flat out dumb when it comes to the sport of rowing. No wonder he is unsuccessful and couldn’t go anywhere else but the messy team that he was a part of years before. He cares more about being the rowers’ buddy than actually coaching them or coming up with a logical training plan. Preston has the unique ability of having athletes with so much potential and doing absolutely nothing with them. He doesn’t increase any rowers potentials or teach them improvements to their rowing skills. He also doesn’t know a thing when it comes to coxing or how to coach a coxswain. The program would be better run by a high schooler. It’s no mystery why the guys team does worse than the girls team every year, or for that fact, any other team. The program doesn’t send kids to national teams or any next levels of rowing. The only boats coach Weinard has produced that weren’t absolute embarrassments to the men’s college rowing world were boats that were thrown together at the last minute with absolutely no training plan. The most successful boat in his coaching career included a coxswain he just threw in who had never coxed a race before that one. He is the definition of laziness, pure luck, and “winging it”. There is no logic, strategy, or honestly a single decent thought that goes through that coaches head. He is wasting a program with so many resources and so much potential. If you have any respect for yourself as a rower, coxswain, or assistant coach, don’t waste a minute working with this man."

"He was perverted, if you follow Sam Mathers on Instagram and you look carefully, you will see stories of his inappropriate behaviors. He would ask assistant coaches to take them out for drinks, comment on athletes bodies. Asked me if I dress up in short clothes, and get men’s attention and if I know what that makes me… a good girl? Asking me if I’m being a bad girl on multiple occasions in a creepy disgusting voice. Touched my lower back to motion me to follow my nearby teammates like I couldn’t see or get the point, asked me to schedule a Microsoft teams meeting to show him stretches I was given at physio… I could’ve showed him at practice with everyone and more than enough space but instead he wanted me to bend my self in his office? Where you can’t lay straight in any direction becuz it’s that small… I reported this to student experience and he wasn’t phased at all… they’re all disgusting which is why they asked him to step down instead of firing him when it blew up on social media. The school was to worried about their income from donors because they’re private and need money that badly they brush off female athletes that desperately need help and allow for a coach to continue what he has been getting away with for years"

"Coach likes to bully and chastise athletes. Likes to belittle athletes on short comings and takes pleasure in pointing out athletes flaws. He was caught by students taking “sports pic” of female athletes in the locker room. "

"Great coaches care and think about their team’s performances and skills all the time while building their confidence, skills and proficiency. Good coaches communicate well. Great coaches, however, create conversations. Good coaches listen carefully and truly try to understand. They ask clarifying questions to make sure they have an accurate picture of their team members’ strengths and offer opportunities to apply specific skills. Ron Grigg is none of the above.. while he has knowledge of the sport he has no idea how to put that knowledge into coaching players the correct way. Please stay away from this toxic man as he will destroy your children's drive for the sport in his pursuit of track and field supremacy. "

"Horrible human being. Only cares about himself. What you did will haunt you in your afterlife....I promise."

"does not know how to play soccer. time wastes when losing. does not reach possession. plays kickball instead of soccer"

"It is absolutely saddening to hear of this man’s favoritism and mistreatment of athletes just because he “doesn’t like them”. It unprofessional behavior. "

"Horrible does not understand the game of soccer, should be a kickball coach."

"Narcissistic and mentally abusive. He fully influenced a runner to end her own life. Run away from this man. "
