"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 "

"Rude assistant coach; unrealistic expectations of players; very controlling; no flexibility… doesn’t care about your education tennis comes first over academics"
