Intense Accessible Direct Cool Knows The Game

"Unfortunately, my experience with her was overwhelmingly negative. She seemed disinterested in building any sense of team camaraderie or trust among the players. Rather than creating a supportive and united environment, she often appeared disconnected and out of touch with the needs of her athletes, both physically and emotionally. Her coaching style lacked compassion and understanding. Players who gave their all, even while injured, were brushed off without real concern. It was clear she didn’t know how to read or relate to her players because she wasn’t invested in their growth, either as athletes or as individuals. Instead of fostering development and unity, she appeared to play favorites with those who had personal ties to her life outside of soccer, creating an uncomfortable and exclusive dynamic for the rest of the team. Additionally, she frequently shared details about her personal life during team interactions, which felt unprofessional and out of place. This only added to the lack of boundaries and the overall disjointed leadership style. As someone who has played under her, I would never want my daughter to be part of a soccer program, at any level, under this kind of leadership. A coach should inspire, support, and uplift their team. Sadly, that was not the experience here."

Poor Communication Cares About Academics Disorganized Old School Mentality

"Had a very poor experience playing for coach Corbett at Penn. Team culture was miserable; she doesn't regularly talk to half the team. If you aren't a top recruit or in her 14 girl rotation, you really don't exist to her. (Keep in mind, I was a starter since sophomore year). Honestly, I don't think she is inherently a mean or bad person. I just think that she has very poor social skills and self-awareness. Exactly she says is very matter of fact. It was until I transferred for my 5th year that I understand how a coach could actually care about all of her players. Not mean per say. This was a big shock to some girls (especially the one of MA and MD private schools) who had been coddled and told how great they were for most of their club career. Public school girls, especially from Long Island and Upstate, who had dealt with tougher coaching tended to deal with her better. She has had some great assistance who often tried to be the bridge between the players and coach. But assistants churn almost every year (likely because of her attitude) making some girls have to start over every year.There is also very uneven discipline between starters and non-starters, especially around off-campus activities. In terms of coaching, she is very detailed around game planning, however, either can't or won't make in-game adjustments. "

Knowledgeable Believes In You Creates A Great Team Culture Dedicated To Players Fitness Is Important

"Colin is not only a fantastic technical coach, but also one of the most genuinely caring people I’ve ever known. I watched several people struggle with various problems throughout my time at Penn, myself included, and Colin was always there for every single person ensuring that they not only make the most of themselves as rowers, but also as people. He really wants everyone to be their best selves and he provides the necessary guidance and support to help people get there. Colin is a serious person. He’s direct, he’s honest, and he doesn’t mess around. This leads to a rather intense culture. The culture is definitely one of high-performance. Fitness and hard work rank above all else. Colin believes that we practice to a winning standard, meaning we do what is necessary to win. This often means practicing more than other teams do, and more intensely than other teams do. Extra workouts are not technically necessary but are heavily encouraged, with everyone across the top 2 boats partaking frequently. These two sides of Colin balance each other out perfectly. He will expect a lot from you, but he’ll support you along the way and enable you in every way possible to meet your goals. If you don’t care much for winning races and just want to be on a more social team, Colin’s programs are not for you. But if you want to work hard, reach your potential, and do everything possible to win races, Colin is one of the best out there and by far the best coach I’ve ever had. I can definitely say that without Colin, my life would be in a much worse place than it is today. "

"One of the worst coaches in the NCAA. Every single player has deteriorated under her coaching and parents and athletes make a game of guessing what uniquely terrible coaching decision she will make next. Would be tolerable if she was a good person, but she's racist (referred to a player of Mexican descent as a "beaner" and has made several black players very uncomfortable) and mentally abusive. Avoid like the plague."
