"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."

"Coach D has issues. He's not a players coach like everybody thinks he is. He's not a personable coach at all. He's the type of coach to talk to certain players and go out of his way to do so but for other players he just walks by them like they don't even matter. If you want to talk about favorites oh my god! He is the king of favorites! It's funny cause if you look back at our records for the pass 3 years we really haven't done that well and his favorites were playing haha."
