Uses Marist likeness to follow college girl porn (& cyber stalking), lies to players-especially recruits, never know what to expect, no clear game plan or expectation. Terrible team culture.

"This person is straight up evil. Any good review about Sean Byron is a lie or written by one of the players hes flirts with for playing time. He only plays people who he is attracted to and will call you terrible names if you don’t snitch on your teammates. A memorable story is when he walked up to someone and said they need to squat more to fit in a bigger size spandex, or when he intertwined his legs with a teammate on the bench. The team culture is everyone for themselves and he pins girls against each other so he can control them. "

She would take out her anger being mad at players who she considered her "friend" on the entire team at practice. Very unprofessional. She would yell at the refs so much that players on the team would have to apologize to the referee on the team's behalf. It was very embarrassing.

"If there were lower ratings I would have gave them. To say he was the worst coach I ever had would be a compliment. Larry Vanwagner is the worst person I've ever met. To start, Marist caught him stealing from the team so idk why he's still there. In A nutshell, lvw is an arrogant, rude, cheating, stealing asshole who knows nothing about swimming"

"Probably the most vindictive b**** I ever met. Straight up horrible person who is fake to your face. Loves her diver's but doesn't care about the swimmers at all. Belittles athletes who struggle in the classroom basically calling them stupid, useless and fat. Always talking about other swimmer's and gossiping. Has an affair with head swim coach. "

"Way to stubburn to be an effective coach. Has tunnel vision and must do everything his way, doesnt accept or even listen to any advice from any one. Also he is a man of routine, he has to do the exact same thing year after year without making any changes."

"She is an awful human being. Decent diving coach but treats the swimmers (who she is technically THE assistant coach for) like trash. Has made multiple abusive statements towards swimmers on the team, visibly talks behind people's backs, and acts as if having a degree in psychology gives her the right to say the things she says."

"Acts as though he wants you to succeed but doesn't usually give a shit about you after your freshmen year. Rarely offers encouragement and has been known to immediately tell you what you did wrong in a race the moment you touch the wall. His assistants are exponentially more qualified. Still way better than the diving coach though."

"One of the most classless people I have ever met. Rude and acts like a know it all. Has an affair with the diving coach who is also a witch. They mock athletes who aren't good and at ones who struggle with their academics while putting up with their childish behaviors. Worst experience ever, would never recommend swimmers to come here."

"he's a giant dick, plain and simple. He'll show you respect if you're a talented swimmer and can consistently make him look good, but even then it's still very minimal. He also engages in questionable accounting practices when dealing with scholarships and meal money over breaks. probably the main reason I quit the team. #MemoriesFromAMaristBurnout"

"Very old school, garbage yardage type training. Not open at all to new ideas about swimming technique or training methods. Fairly motivational, but can be quite mean. No nonsense approach focusing on balance of mind, body, and spirit. Rating: 6/10, would be higher if he was more open minded and less disparaging. "

Disorganized Poor Communication Intense Knowledgeable Cares About Academics

"Very disorganized. Does not communicate well with athlete's. Very poorly structured workout plan throughout the year causing athletes to be over worked and burnt out. Wants you to succeed but will talk about you negatively behind your back to other athletes causing them to belittle the negatively spoken athlete. Has great technical knowledge but doesn’t do much coaching on the water. Will listen to concerns and suggestions but doesn’t actually seem to care about them as coach campbell will rarely take them into effect. I understand that the coach shouldn’t need to take every concern or suggestion into action however if something is negatively affecting multiple athletes causing some of them to quit then something should be done differently to prevent that from happening moving forward.
