"As a parent of a former player I believe this program is one of the best in the country. The coaches don't have all of the same resources as some of these schools in the SEC, but that is what makes them special. Their ability to take a player from a struggling number 6 to top ten in the nation says it all. Could not recommend this program and coaches enough. "

Believes In You Dedicated To Players Fair Great Leader Helps With Career

"From my experience this coach cares deeply about his players, not just as athletes but as people. He has high expectations but they come from a place of wanting to develop their players. He is supportive, invested, committed and deeply passionate about the program and the school. During challenging times he has been someone players ( including myself) could rely on for support, guidance and understanding. If you are willing to work hard, take responsibility and grow on and off the court, this is a coach who truly cares about your development. "

"Belittles the players. Not fair. Believes in negative reinforcement!!! Doesn’t care about their academic achievements accept for them to pass so they can play. Wants them all to go pro. Unrealistic. !!!!!! Doesn’t try to make them an all round good player! And they are not respectful to other teams "

"This coach is extremely controlling and toxic. They isolate players, discourage going home, and create tension with families by talking bad about them. They constantly trash talk players behind their backs and tear everyone’s game down, they lead by fear. They do not care about you as a person at all—only results. They stir up drama, make up situations, and create a hostile environment. I left this program feeling worse about myself than when I arrived. This coach and assistant ruined my experience. Do not come to this school unless they aren’t there anymore."

"Craig Engels, on the website Tempojournal.com, was quoted to say “Back in NC State, it was more like run hard every day and if you break, you break, but if you don’t then keep running. Unfortunately, so many people get injured because of that…” Someone I know was recruited to run for NC State and was treated horribly from day one by the coaching staff. I’m being careful with my words to avoid anything self-identifying, but you should know that the program does nothing to stop a culture of hazing, and that I personally witnessed Coach Geiger in a lie face-to-face to a parent of the athlete. In short, the culture of the XCTF program at NCSU nearly ended the athlete’s career. Thankfully, the athlete left the program and went on to have a successful running career including conference championship victories and world championship appearances. The NCSU XCTF program is toxic- and the issues extend deeper than Geiger- Coach Henes is complicit in many of Geiger’s actions and should also be avoided."

"This coach is all about winning. He’s not about make an all around student athlete. He will do whatever it takes to win and hurt whoever he has to. You will only a couple a chances to prove yourself and then your done. He partial to players that just want to player over and above thier 20 hours a week. And players who want to go pro. He yells, cusses and makes the players a nervous wreck and humiliates on court "

"In my humble opinion, I do not think that Coach D is a very good coach but he does bring in great assistant coaches to make up for that. He is knowledgeable about the game and gave me the opportunity to play on scholarship but those are the only real positives I can say. Does not connect with players well and has made some shady moves/decisions."

College swimming is challenging no doubt, but Braden and his staff do their best to make the experience enjoyable and memorable. They are the best in the business."
