"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 "

"Beware: don’t set yourself up for abuse, sexual harassment, racism, gas lighting, cyber stalking, bullying. Only positive reviews are submitted by himself, justifying his unlawful behavior. 19 girls reported his actions. Expect mediocrity from Marist to tolerate his behavior. Would he have to justify his behavior on these sites if his actions/intentions were those of a leader with integrity?! "

"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. "

Everything good about him on here is him writing it to save himself because there’s been 2 investigations going on against abuse, harassment, and exploiting.

"Cared more about screaming at refs than coaching. Never adapted or changed up formations even when getting crushed entire game, played same 13/14 players, never ever gave others a sniff at field even when up or down by 5 goals. All girls on that team were capable of given starters 10 minute break, but never given chance. Hopefully new coach will turn program back to its old form. "

"Sean lacks qualities of a successful leader- takes his own personal insecurities out on young female athletes. Lacks integrity, poor communication, overly controlling, excludes team members, seeks to destroy & sabotage female athletes, promotes & encourages bullying, dishonesty & selfishness. 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. Many reports of violations of Marist code of conduct, yet he continues to coach. When will the voices of female athletes be heard? "

Not the best environment for young girls and his approach towards creating team culture and cohesion is messy. He shares your personal information with other players and will gossip about you to your teammates. Overall, not a very good experience on his team. Do not recommend!!!!"

"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. "

"Leigh does not know how to differentiate between friendships and player-coach relationships. It in turn ruined an entire season. 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. Once called a ref by his first name and said "_____ you are f-ing horrible". "
