"Where to even begin. By the end of my time at TCU, she doesn’t even deserve the title “Coach”. In fact, she may be just the opposite: disrespectful to players, plays favorites (the chosen could never do wrong in her eyes), does NOT know the basics of riding, poor communicator (unless you’re one of her chosen ones), harms team culture and is self-centered, doesn’t care about athletes (again, unless you’re one of her chosen ones). Any positive quality you’d like in a coach, she’s the opposite. Worst of all, she thinks she’s so great and the best of the best, but quickly dismisses you (if not, tear you down to the core) when you have any suggestions that she didn’t come up with. But by all means, come here if you’d like to be borderline su*c*dal, develop an ED, lose all your self confidence and self worth, and hate riding for the rest of your life. "

"Lee is a good coach and cares about his players. His inconsistent scheduling and communication style made life difficult."

"Anyways, coach Chew is great! "

"Good recruiter who cared about me. Had a 30 minute talk about how things were going, where head was at, etc. "

"Great coach who will move up in the baseball coaching world. Great former player who connects well with the current players."

"I played for coach Schlossnagle at Texas A&M University. If your goal is to play professional baseball then he is the coach for you. He is very knowledgeable on the game and helped me expand my knowledge and has more than prepared me for pro ball. Every coach has a flaw and his would be how he reacts when things aren’t going right during games. When all is well in the game he is great but when things don’t go the way he wants or should he starts to lose it a little. Other than that, which we all have things to work on, Coach Schloss was a great coach and I would recommend him to athletes if they want to develop as a player and learn what it takes to win. "

"Jim schlossnagle is a HUGE disappointment for Texas A&M. He is brash, a bully, physical abusive toward his players. The dynamic changed completely when he took over. Players are NOT happy with him."

"not respectful to players with an understanding and care for academics"

"She is the best coach and really cares for her athletes. She treats us as a family and she always has the attitude to win! By far the best coach I’ve had and will have."

"Players coach who does an excellent job of recruiting talent. Took over for Coach Schlossnagle and has done a tremendous job with a trip to Omaha."

"This coach was very white-collar in his approach to the game of baseball. He did not interact one-on-one with players and tended to be disrespectful in various circumstances."

"Marissa Chew is an amazing coach and has helped me fall in love with the sport of track and field again. She was the recipient of a group of 5 athletes that she did not recruit. One of these athletes and their parent made a post reviewing Marissa Chew in a very biased, dishonest, and misleading way that did not portray her for who she truly is. These athletes lacked the emotional maturity to accept a new coach, and because they were entitled and rude, they were promptly removed from the team. In my opinion, Coach Chew made exactly the right decision. She cares deeply for all of her athletes, and a group on the team was treating others and herself with disrespect and she protected the other athletes/culture of the team by removing them. Coach chew has always shown a high level of care, empathy, and kindness towards her athletes. She always conducts herself in a professional, yet respectful and empathetic way towards her athletes. I highly recommend Marissa Chew and the TCU Track & Field coaching staff. If you want a coach and a team that values you as a person as well as an athlete, TCU Track & Field with Coach Chew is the place to be."

"All he does is yell and scream. I don’t think he likes one single girl on the squad. Even the upperclassmen are miserable here. There is not one girl that has passion to play the game of soccer like they did when they left club. Most came here because they thought it gave them a chance to go to the next level and I don’t know if there is anyone that wants to play at the next level if this is what soccer is going to be like at the next level. This coach has stripped all the fun from the game. Plus, when we have our weekly coaches meetings I feel like I am being questioned by the FBI to find out which one of my teammates is not being positive. The atmosphere here is extremely tense and fake! I skipped a team party to study for a class exam and I was questioned about it as if I was a bad seed instead of a responsible student!? "

"Eric Bell is NOT a soccer guy. He didn't even start playing the game until he couldn't make the varsity teams his Jr. year of high school in any other sports so he tried out for soccer. Of course, his HS coach puts him up top as a forward because he is fast. He had no college offers to play soccer so he contacted over 300 schools from Division 1 to Division 3 and finally a division III school gave him a partial scholarship to play soccer. He then came out of school and wanted to be a coach. So he did the same thing in writing hundreds of letters to Division 1 & 2 colleges for Head Coaching jobs where he was turned down multiple times by some of the same programs. He finally got on as an Assistant at Florida State which had a decent name for itself. Then title IX and he started writing letters once again. TCU contacted him back. They hired the first coach they interviewed. He does nothing with the preparation of the game plans. He does nothing to put the lineups together. Eric Bell is simply there as a figurehead. He has the personality that Ryan Higginbothem does not have to shake hands and smile at family's and do the on camera interviews that Higginbothom is too big of an A$$-hole not to do. Ryan has tried on many occasions to get a head coaching job but no one will hire him (at least in the Big-12) because everyone sees what a jerk the guy is on the sidelines. Bottomline Eric Bell knows about as much soccer as I do as a father growing up with a daughter that played at the highest levels since the age of 6 and because of her passion I started watching a ton of EPL (English Premier League) BUT that doesn't make me qualified to run practices or develop players beyond their club years!"

"A little background: My daughter played either DA or ECNL (when DA disbanded). Her team won a National Title at U14 and then were in the final 4 each year after that either to finish second or third each season. I tell you that only so you know that she was well trained from the age of 6. Her TCU Scholarship was what she fought hard to accomplish. However, she soon found out that Eric Bell is only the figurehead. Ryan is the guy running things and boy He is a screamer. My daughter played for him for 1 year. I have never seen her so unsure of herself and I would say slightly depressed. At the end of her club experience, she played the best soccer of her career. She felt comfortable with the ball at her feet, even with little space to work. She would play one-touch triangles, be creative to work out of tight spaces, and never second-guess her own decision-making. By the time her freshman year had ended, she was a shell of her former self. You could tell that she was nervous just to be on the pitch. Her play became so conservative. Most of the time she would play a negative ball (or a pass backwards) because it was the "safe" pass. All of her creativity and attacking mentality had left her spirit. She changed everything about her game to please him but what she never understood was that he was a screamer. She was trying to earn his appreciation and validation because all she wanted to do is please the man but he is never going to give you that satisfaction. He is trying to make you SO mad that you stick it up his butt! "

"He is a leader by fear. He has a certain style that he wants played and that is all he cares about. If you are someone that believes in having a certain level of creativity on the pitch this is NOT your coach. He wants EVERYTHING done his way! He is an awkward fellow. Doesn't talk to many of the players outside of soccer. We were traveling and one of my best friends on the team went to get breakfast downstairs in the lobby, when she got on the elevator Ryan was the only one on the elevator. He never even acknowledged her with a "good morning", "did you sleep well?..." "are you ready to play today?" just looked at her and rode the next 3 floors like they didn't know each other. A-W-K-W-A-R-D!"

"Bob Knight-type coach. Leads by fear. We saw him heavily recruit a girl from the University of Kentucky and then never play her. Totally wasted this girls Sophomore year which she then got frustrated and hit the portal again and transferred to Villanova but since this was her second transfer she now is going to miss her Jr. Yr now. My daughters class the 3 highest ranking players that they recruited (2022) all have left. 1 quit all together and the other 2 have transferred. "

"This coach cares a lot and athletes changing and growing and moving forward. Problem we have in todays society is the kids think that everyone is supposed to mold to them. Unfortunately in athletics and dream chasing, they do not get achieved without you growing and improving. So if you want to improve and grow to achieve your dreams then you need to be able to adjust and grow. "

"Marissa Chew is a terrible person, let alone a coach. She does NOT care about her athletes mental health, their success or any part of their well being. She caused irreversible mental damage to my daughter and her 5 team mates at TCU and they will never be the same. She took away their hopes and dreams by "removing them" from the team, in retaliation of the students reporting her for unsafe practices, ie not providing water or supervision on hot practice days or suggesting unsafe drills at practices. Do NOT send your athlete to this school. This is the worst experience one could imagine- she is a terrible person."

"Coach Robinson is disorganized, scatter brained, and a terrible leader. He is not well equipped with the knowledge a head coach should have, and is currently destroying the TCU track and field program. He has degraded my character and left me feeling disrespected in many ways. I truly believe this man is mentally ill and needs serious help. "

"Marissa Chew single handedly destroyed my track and field career. She is dishonest, conniving, and a horrible leader. I cannot say enough bad things about this person. She will do anything to get her way, even if that means destroying other people in her path. If I were a parent, I would never feel comfortable sending my child off to a school to be coached by her. The trauma I endured under her coaching will permanently effect me for the rest of my life. Anyone being recruited by her, please take this into consideration. Nothing I am saying is an exaggeration, it is simply the truth of what it is like being coached by her. For example, there was one week of training where she was gone for one week in September. Our training group had to practice alone in 100 degree weather without water or supervision because she failed to contact any other coaches or athletic trainers to tell them she would not be there. She is unreliable, irresponsible, and lacks a concerning amount of empathy. She divided the team and created a toxic culture. To further explain what kind of coach she is, myself and 4 other teammates were kicked off the track team one week before final exams. We were not provided any insight as to why we were being kicked off, and she promptly left campus as soon as she told us she was kicking us off. We later heard she had been joking with other teammates about kicking us off later that week, further signifying her lack of empathy for others. Although Marissa is a huge contributor the the toxic culture, the entire coaching staff at the TCU track and field program is horrifying as well. Even if you are not recruited by Marissa, I would not recommend joining this team under any of the coaches. The head coach is self absorbed, egotistical, inconsiderate, and for lack of a better word, a moron. I will never be the same person because of Marissa and this program. Hopefully one day I will be able to forgive her for ripping away my dreams from me. "

"Terrible coach. Has told his players at Texas A&M multiple times this season that their career is over, then goes on to put them in the game in horrible situations. His assistant coaches hate the way he leads, and there are very few of his players that want to play for him next year. If you value your mental health, go somewhere else. "

"Was a freshman last year at TCU. Transferred because of her. Said my injuries were fake, told me that I wasn’t what she expected me to be even though I was never healthy, horrible motivator, didn’t know what she was doing with workouts, and basically criticized people and tore he runners down at any chance and many occasions. Everyone did not like her and every runner tried to get her out of the program. Worst coach, motivator, and supporter I’ve ever had, not even close. Don’t go wherever she is. "

"Just not truthful look a kid in his eyes told him he was on the short list and never contacted him again "

"I enjoyed my time with Coach Mork . Great recruiter, great coach and nice personality, always there for his players."
