"Everyday leadership. Develops clear individual, attainable goals. Prepares student athletes for highest pressure situations on course. Readies team for life beyond college. Loves his team."
"When Mike Joyce came here in 2021 he helped the staff totally shift our team culture a full 180. Ever since the Minnesota swim team has improved in every aspect in and out of the pool. Coach Mike has a care for every swimmer and a burning passion to coach and see the best in everyone. He truly cares about the success of this team and the success of you as a person. Would reccomend!"
"Solid coach who has developed some solid talent in the past year. Not a very winning program as of late, but keeps his players together. Solid recruiter."
"Coach Bingle is very good at motivating people who can use scare tactics to perform well. People who need to be told that they are doing well and that need an emotional connection with their coach don’t do as well here. Some people I have seen thrive when Coach tells them that their spot is on the line. Others fail. "
"Terrible experience. Not a good person. Can be motivational and knows certain parts of the game. Will not set you up for success as a player or person unfortunately. Would steer clear, very cult like practices inside his weird program. He is good at putting on a persona and selling himself. Also very money driven, would often talk about his paycheck in team meetings and compare it to other coaches in front of us as motivation. "
"I met with Dr. Ashley while a student-athlete at the UMN. She was so helpful and kind. It was also refreshing to be able to talk to a Black woman because I felt like she could relate to me in a very authentic and genuine way. "
"I got closer and grew more respect for her as my time went on at DePaul. Erin is intense and cares a lot about fitness. When you are a committed player, show that you work hard, respect the team/coaches and program, it is definitely recognized & she reciprocates the respect you give. I really enjoyed my time playing here & loved the team culture. "
"Honest with her players about expectations and roles they will play on the team. If you work hard and respect your teammates/ staff you will be an important part to the team. "
"Erin truly wants to get the best she can out of her players, even if at times it might seem tough. She values being fit which means lots of running but it also pays off in the end. She’s also careful in who she picks character wise, to ensure that the team can work really well together."
"One of the most incredible coaches that I have ever had or met. He truly cares about each individual and sees his team as genuine people instead of just points on a board. He is so knowledgable and encouraging. He only wants the best for those around him and he is one of the greatest coaches in this sport. "
"He is unethical, and you can never trust anything he tells you by word of mouth. His method of motivation is instilling fear into athletes. He claims that all coaches coach the same way, but the athlete ultimately makes or breaks performances. He loves to take credit when things go well, but refuses to take any responsibility when things don’t."
"I loved Catrina! She was always very positive and encouraging but would push us hard at the same time. She was good at getting us through pressure situations and always there for a laugh as well. "
"Coach Erin is very intense but reasonable. She expects a lot from her athletes and ensures that they reach their fullest potential. Not quick to offer praise but when given it is deserved. Cares a lot about fitness. Overall great woman and excellent coach. "
"As you get older, you develop a stronger bond and relationship. If she is hard on you, it's bevause she cares and sees potential in you. Expects hard work, high fitness levels, and strong mental toughness. Her tone can be unmotivating at times, but just wants you to perform at your best. I personally had a great relationship and time with her. "
"I enjoyed being coached by Erin. She is very intimidating at first but if you are able to get on her good side then she is more easy going. She values her players development and always strives for a competitive atmosphere at practice. She focuses a lot on the personalities of people that she brings in to ensure that everyone feels like family. "

"Great intentions, thorough experience, but lacks knowledge of modern training methodologies. Additionally, 'Plaz' fails to make the sport fun and meaningful. He seeks to instill humility, but ends up drying the sport and disrespecting the needs and desires of athletes. "
"I absolutely loved her as coach. Takes a bit getting used to her awkward moments but once you establish a relationship it's really fun. Not only does she care about soccer but also connects on a personal and academic level. Wants the highest achievement on the field and in the classroom. She is blunt and honest which is something I admired greatly!"
"I love how straightforward he is. He tells you what he wants and if you are meeting his expectations. He is also very honest and open. If I ever have a conflict with him, I am comfortable enough to go directly to him and confront him face to face. This makes for less drama and more time to get our jobs done in a positive environment. "
"She does a very good job at pulling the best player out of you. She has an open door policy so if you're having trouble she's really accessible. She'll do anything to help you reach your potential. A little hard to warm up to but once she's comfortable with you, she's really funny "
"Geoff is great. He is an easy-going guy who is very fun to be around. He holds both himself and his team to an extremely high standard. He is an especially good doubles coach. He has consistently made great doubles teams out of players who did not previously have significant success as doubles players."
"He is a great coach that knows what he is doing. He treats all his athletes like adults both in rewards those who deserve and in how he handles disciple"
"John is an excellent person and coach. He has a passion of coaching baseball and building relationships with his players. He has been a part of the Gopher Baseball program for 35 plus years, meaning he has dealt and seen everything possible when it comes to baseball, recruiting, coaching and anything else you could think of. Great guy to get to know, wants each player to succeed not only on the field, but in the classroom and so on."
"Plays heavy favoritism that has continued to be a problem even when addressed. Also does not keep his word and will not hesitate to do what’s best for himself at the expense of his athletes. "
