"Coach Joe is a true role model. He’s fair, but tough. Caring, but honest. You won’t find a coach in Division 1 softball more knowledgeable than him. He cares about the whole person and will never sacrifice winning over development. His motto is “we develop to win.” High integrity and always keeps his word"

"Campbell seems like a solid coach at first glance, but being an athlete under him will kill your rowing career. He claims to be an exercise science major, but understands nothing about how the human body functions in training. He blames his athletes, but when the entire team is stagnating while doing his training plan that is obviously not the case. Myself and several other athletes made our own training plans and immediately saw better results. He also used extremely vulgar language(directed at multiple rowers including a female coxswain) in front of several teams at the IRA. He will also talk about athletes behind their backs and has overall created a toxic environment. I believe he is passionate about the sport but I would not recommend him to any athletes moving forward."

"Sean Byron is the worst coach I’ve ever played for. Coaching wise, he never keeps the same system in place for longer than 2 weeks and is constantly teaching a different technique and method for every aspect of the game. You will not become a better player. When you ask him questions about anything regarding volleyball, he will get mad at you because he is unable to answer your questions and instead say “your job as an athlete is to say Yes Coach and do what I say” He treats injured athletes horribly and makes them feel guilty about their injury He pits girls against eachother He makes it abundantly clear who his favorites are He is sensitive and short tempered He destroys the self esteem of young women He creates a toxic team culture "

"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.

Disorganized Poor Communication Intense Knowledgeable Cares About Academics

"I think Coach Campbell is a great coach to work with. Honestly, I’ve only seen overtraining happen due to athlete controlled factors such as lifting outside of recommended days/times as well as athlete nutrition. I took a star off motivation because specifically at the collegiate level, motivation increasingly must be intrinsic from an athlete. It’s not up to a coach to tell an athlete to do secondaries outside of practice. That being said he does encourage them. I think that that last point can become contentious between athlete and coach. Coach Campbell will not mince words if you have not improved the expected amount between seasons or tests. I think frustration stems from the athlete because perhaps they have issues with the training plan and them not improving as much as they would wish. If this happens, how can there be overtraining? However, Coach Campbell will more frequently than not be willing to sit down and talk in an effort to improve the team as a whole. No coach is perfect, but I think Coach Campbell does the best with the resources at hand. Side note, if an athlete is not with family over Easter break, he will offer to host them at his house and treat them to a meal."

"Not a great experience. Cursed us out and said some vulgar language at the IRA. Made me do workouts on injuries, had his favorites. He is very knowledgeable in the sport and teaches a great technique, but overall is a very disorganized, very disrespectful coach. He always tried to pressure kids who were injured into getting back on the boat or the water. Given the current state of the team, as well as who he is as a coach, I wouldn’t recommend. "

"I wish I had good things to say about Sean, but unfortunately I don’t. The Marist volleyball program has gone downhill since his arrival and he’s tanked team culture and morale. He’s been at Marist for 4 seasons and has had over 10 players quit the team. I’ve experienced and seen some sketchy behavior and just want to warn others about him. Marist is a great school, but the volleyball program has turned to rotten garbage under his leadership. "
