"Continued to reach out to me during the fall just to see how I was doing."

"Very experienced coach who knows what he is talking about when it comes to pitching."

"Best coach I’ve played for in my whole entire life. For the first time ever I felt like I belonged in the group with a common desire to be the best, starting from the culture built by him as a coach. Baseball is his whole life and I respect the heck out of that because I was the same way where it was almost obsessive. I was that way as a player and had been with coaches in the past who just kinda go through the motions. Even if the talent doesn’t jump out at you, he expects his team to play with the best of them. Believing in yourself is half the battle. Only negative I would say is sometimes shows a lot of negative emotion coaching 3rd if offense is quiet. And for myself being a pitcher, sometimes he didn’t read players well and maybe didn’t know their personality all the way. But most importantly you can tell he really cares and makes you want to run through a brick wall for him. From the first team meeting hearing his mindset and seeing the paper print outs with different philosophies, I knew I was playing for someone that’s a different breed. He even hands out articles and mind map things for the mental game to look at on long bus rides. I still have those and look at them sometimes because the principles can be applied to business, career, etc. I also liked how open he was to discuss things one on one just about life in general if you stop in his office. I remember he borrowed me a book on Mike Matheny when he was the Cardinals manager that I really liked. That was just who he was with many other baseball or leadership books to always improve and be dedicated to his craft. Will never forget the impact he had on my life. I sort of let him down and myself after juco and am upset I’m not involved in that baseball sphere anymore. Even if you weren’t the greatest player, he’d make you believe in yourself to go out and compete with the best of them. I’ll forever cherish the moments being apart of his program because I’ve never seen anything before or since that lives up to it. Wishing him the best in all future roles in baseball, whether it be coaching, managing, scouting, etc. I could see him being a Mike Schildt, who ironically was Matheny’s successor in St. Louis, working up to a good pro ball gig even though as a player they did not play pro ball or anything after college. Not easy to work your way up to that after not ever playing pro ball, but if anyone could be another one to do that, Coach Dave Pearson would be he guy. "

"I had coach Andrew for a short time. He was amazing, super knowledge, clear in his expectations, and always respectful of all the athletes. "

"She was an amazing coach and is always there for us. She was definitely one of the most competitive people I have ever met and I loved this about her. She was intense but she always had our best interest at heart. For sure a great asset to the Iowa field hockey program. "

"Billy T is the man, but he tries to change his players game too much. Let that boy play."

"I love playing for Coach Taylor. His coaching style and career resume give him great knowledge of college basketball."

"He is very detailed, and personable. "

""

"One of the best coach's in the country if you are willing to put in your time. He is not one that will tell you to get in the gym and motivate you to be better. He is fair and will give you what you deserve though. Coach McCaffery is a loyal, sometimes to a fault, coach that loves his players. You feel like a part of the family with Fran. "

"she has always been someone i can go to with absolutely anything and she is a great support system especially when you're away from your parents for school"

"Super nice and always easy to talk to "

"She is a very nice person with a huge smile on her face. She transmit good vibes and motivation to be the best version of yourself. You can reach out to her if you have any problems. She is always willing to help you. "

"Very loyal. Emphasizes players growing as men just as much as growing as a football player"

"Great guy!"

"Tom and Terry Brands are phenomenal coaches. They have taught me so much about wrestling, myself, and life. They know how to push you to your limits and bring the best out of you on and off the mat."

"Great coach that is fair and knows what he is doing."

"This coach is now at Iowa state university. In my years we won 2 national championships and 1 nat champ runner up"
