"This guy is horrible. Direct representation of Rollins College. Do not waste your talent coming to play for this arrogant loser. If you want to improve as a player, build your skills, and enjoy your collegiate career do not play for this deuche. Maybe it's time for administration to fire him. His record speaks for itself. "
"I used to love playing tennis until I got Jay Friedman as my coach. Jay is the worst tennis coach I have ever had; he lies to us players, threatens with scholarships, thinks it’s more of a fitness program than tennis, and doesn’t care if you are injured. Jay Friedman does not hesitate to throw threats at you as a player and kick you off the team. If you really like tennis, do not come to Rollins and play for him. "
"Respectful, sincere, super nice and cares tremendously about each athlete. Rollins Crew is a place where you’d like to start your rowing career as he teaches the fundamentals. Patient as well. Pistor does, however, not have the knowledge and experience to make the team anything beyond mediocre result wise. Recruits stagnate and training lacks a clear purpose/vision, partly because all the novices are integrated from day one. "
"I have never felt less support from a coach in my entire career as an athlete. Not only has he ruined my view of my sport but his negative attitude towards both me and my peers has made me never want to play again. "
"Mika does not care about her players and is narcissistic at her core. Coming in she lovebombs freshmen to then do awful things to them later. Every year people quit the team just because of her. Many players also have to take an extra semester as Mika does not allow them to take the classes they need for their academics. I would strongly advise anyone joining her team, she should have been fired a long time ago (too bad her bestie is the athletic department chair)."
"Sjrogren was a great coach during my time at the school! Problem was... he was a really hard person to read. You could never tell how he felt somedays. It was difficult learning how to build a relationship with him. He seamed miserable most of the time, which at times also sucked the energy out of the team during practices and games. If it wasn't for the talent of his players, he wouldn't have gained the success he's had over the last few years. Rollins baseball program could really do so much better! The assistants pretty much do most of the job. They are the glue of the team. Sjrogren is just the face that takes all the credit. "
"As a leader on our team, I have a very close relationship with coach D and he is someone when I have kids of my own that go through the recruiting process i will help them find a coach that is like Coach DiClementi."
"Coach Pat may not be the world’s most knowledgeable coach, but he understands that which provides a unique opportunity for development. He cares deeply for his athletes, and rightfully is a highly respected coach. "
"Coach Julianne completed change the Rollins Swim Team culture while she is a young coach she works harder than any coach I have ever seen and when you put in the work she will do everything for you. So happy I got swim with her in my college career. "
"Coach Julianne is one of the best coaches I have ever had. She understands the sport and takes input from the team, and pushes you to be the best that you can. Her coaching style is positive and comes from a place of care, and doesn't need to use fear to gain the teams respect. I'm lucky to have her as my coach as she always takes time to talk to her team, whether it's about swimming or something else that's going on."
"Walker is truly an amazing coach. He cares about everyone’s success and instills confidence in his swimmers. He pushes you to be the best you can be and is understanding. He is accessible and honest with you. Personally, that is the desired coaching style for me and I have seen more success as an athlete with the support of our assistant and head coach!"
"Julianne has been nothing short of an amazing coach. She truly cares about all her swimmers and is very understanding of everything. She definitely pushes you to become the best athlete and person you can be, but is extremely compassionate. She’s approachable and cares about everyone. "
"I was only on the crew team for 2 months at the end of the season as a walk-on after my swimming career was over. I knew nothing about crew, but Pistor was able to develop my skills and pushed me to be at competition level after just a few weeks. Even though I was brand new to the sport, he was incredibly encourage ing and positive when I doubted myself. His assistance coaches make a dynamic groups and have unyielding faith in the whole team. They are intense and incredibly knowledgeable. I wish I had more time to give to the team, it was a great expiroence!"
"Walker is a young coach, but he knows swimming very well. He is usually pretty quiet (maybe shy) and not aggressive unless it’s meet day. His feedback and criticism are always constructive and helpful. Walker does tend to have a few favorites on the team. His energy is matched well with head coach Julianne, a dynamic duo."
"Walker has been there for me any time I needed him - whether swimming related or otherwise. His experience has given him the ability to help any athlete with any setback in the most positive way."
"Julianne cares deeply about her athletes and the sport of swimming. She holds us to a high standard and always wants us to do our best all while giving us the tools to do so."
"I love Coach Julianne, she is very honest and tells you directly about what she expects. She also is very approachable and communicative with her athletes. "
"My experience on the women’s lacrosse team under coach Short was difficult at first but overall a big growing experience and great community. You get out of it what you put in, if you go for individuals and show the coaches you want to take the time to really improve then you’ll get a good response from him. Overall, he is a pretty understanding coach and wants the best for each of his players."
"I’ve had a lot of struggles so far in college, but coach Walker is very understanding and caring to his athletes while still knowing where to draw the line between special treatment and appropriate courtesy."
"i have swam for 15+ years and julianne is by far the best coach i have had. she is always very encouraging while also being honest and she cares about her athletes in all aspects of life (not just swimming). "
"Coach Julianne is always willing to help each of her swimmers with anything they need. She is always ready to adapt to each swimmers personal needs and ensure they are getting the correct training they need. "
"Good athletic trainer overall, sometimes he is not in a good mood and he can transmit that. He is organize. It can be hard to communicate effectively with him. With athletes that he knows better he seems very nice but it is very hard to get along with. "
"I’ve been coached by Walker for the past year and he’s the best. He creates a super fun environment for all of us. There is no one else I’d rather have as an assistant coach. "
"He’s one of the most caring person I know. Regardless of his amazing experience on the water; he stands out for his amazing personality. I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone who cares more for his athletes as he does! "
"I’ve been coached by Julianne for the past year and she creates such a fun environment for her athletes. It’s not easy but you will get great results."
"As an athlete that was ecstatic to play lacrosse at a DII “powerhouse”, I was fully disappointed with my time on the Rollins women’s lacrosse team under the coaching of Coach Dennis Short. While Coach Short is extremely knowledgeable in the game of lacrosse and has many accolades to back this up, the culture that is fostered under his leadership was by far the worst team culture I have experienced in my entire life— an isolating experience that led me to leave the team. While all sports teams have their problems anywhere an athlete chooses to go, I wish that I had known that what I was told by Coach Short during the recruiting process was not accurate. It was a priority of mine to commit to a program where there was a sense of community amongst players— not to all be best friends, but to have one another’s back as fellow teammates. I was told during my recruiting process that no athletes left the team for any other reason other than injury-related incidents. During my time on the team, I found that this was not true. ”Cliques” of girls remained on and off the field. Coach Short explained his viewpoint that COVID-19 created many of these problems for the team cohesiveness, but after speaking to several upperclassmen, it became clear to me that the team operated extremely similarly prior to COVID starting in March 2020. Beneath the “powerhouse” team lies a group of girls that are cutthroat and mostly unkind. Those that were kind and team players transferred. "
"I have had plenty of rowing coaches between middle school, high school, and college. Coach Shawn has been the best coach I have ever had. He cares about the team and sport and has a strong relationship with everyone on the team, and pushes everyone to get stronger."
"Good coach, but as a D2 player, I wanted the focus to be balanced between school and athletics. However, it seemed that sometimes she would make us put volleyball over school."
"Brad's a great guy. Always committed to the success of the team and most days her wants to be there just as much as all of us. Super supportive and fun."
"Sjogren has us play games against awful competition so he can boost stats and stay above water when it comes to keeping his job. If he worked half as hard as the assistants, then maybe people would respect him."
