"Even when I wanted to give up, Tommy convinced me I was worth staying. He cares even though it’s tough, he only wants you to do better."

"He was very supportive with academics and pushing his team to be better. Even on the hot days, he was outside and actively encouraging his team to do better. "

"The best coach is always academically focused. This coach understands what it’s like to be a student, and understands what’s most important. He strives to encourage his team and got this last season to national rankings. "

"Have hated my time at Rose State soccer. The coach is so negative the whole time, never having a positive attitude. I hated how he never looked me in the eye and always kept ‘checking me out’ up and down. I felt uncomfortable and I started to hate turning up for practice."
