"Sonia did a very nice job in her first year at UVA. It’s clear she wants to create a winning mindset for the team and sets the bar high. Can’t wait to see how the program progresses. "

"Very positive and man of his word. Develops players and cares about every player. Could not have wanted a better coach for my daughter! Best decision ever to play for him. "

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"In her first year Sonia hit the ground running and focused on culture first and the results show up on the field. Sonia is engaging and motivating and brought on a talented coaching squad. "

"At first meeting, he seems like a caring and competent coach. This is all fake. He does not know how to build a positive team culture and makes poor decisions on how to use the resources he has on his roster. He is quick to make judgments without an adequate assessment of situations and also took a solid team as a head coach and drove it into the ground to have progressively worse seasons each year. He doesn't have any ability to actually connect with the players and motivate them."

"Julie is a great coach. She really cares about all of her players. She is kind and caring on and off the field. "

"Coach Tiffany is a leader by example. His philosophy about performing every-day, while holding each other accountable. It's great to see not only how Coach Tiffany is continuing to build the culture at UVA, but also be able to build young leaders."

"Fantastic coach and mentor"

"One of the best coaches in America"

"Wonderful God fearing g man who selects athletes based on their ability to meet the 5 pillars"

"Not my event coach but he made a big effort to get to know all the athletes on the team regardless of event focus. Super nice to me and extremely passionate about the sport and his athletes. I heard a lot of his athletes say he could be intense sometimes, and I’d see it here and there personally, but overall a nice guy and very effective coach. "

"Trevor is awesome - everything you could want in an assistant coach and more. Very approachable, super nice, and extremely knowledgeable about the sport given his own individual success as a former NCAA athlete and a pro athlete for Nike and Adidas. He believes in everyone on the team and will let you know it. Helpful in race strategy and workout tips. Really fun to talk to. Developing under Vin, he will be a head coach one day. "

"Vin obviously has a very impressive resume with all of his NCAA titles, Olympic coaching credits, authority in USATF, etc. Overall, I had a positive experience with him and graduated on great terms. I had massive breakthroughs in my performances, he awarded me a scholarship after I asked for one (I was a walk on originally). He also provided me a great recommendation after I graduated that helped me land my current job. I spent much of my last year on the team injured, and he still checked in on me a lot during the time. However - he is not above criticism. Vin definitely has his favorites on the team - he often makes up his mind quickly and it can be difficult to change his opinion on things. Many of my teammates who were either injured or not performing to expectations were consistently ignored by Vin. Many felt very isolated and dejected - that he didn’t care about them. Although, Another athlete on the team did have a very serious mental health crisis, and Vin did everything he could to support them - personally calling and talking to them, giving them a ride to class, making sure othered were checking on them, just really going out of his way to make sure this person was OK. It should also be noted that Vin often tends to favor the men over the women. There are of course exceptions to this, but generally speaking I would say he devotes more time to the men, is more impressed when the men do well, and is more understanding when the men don’t do well. He also is definitely biased towards distance events as a director, which is unsurprising. In terms of actual coaching techniques, I really enjoyed his training plans and his specific workouts. He is very hands on and direct for training. He’s there watching and commenting for every rep of every workout. His race prep planning is detailed and very tactically strong. Overall, I individually had a good experience and know many who had the same, but this was not necessarily a universal experience. It should be noted though that most of those who were not favored by Vin were not his recruited athletes, but leftovers from Dunn, Megan, Watson, or Morgan. If he recruited you you’re probably fine. "

"He was the most engaged coach I talked to during my recruiting process. I really liked him as a person and a coach. "

"The man you you want your son to play for, period. As good and decent a person as there is in the sport and as humble as they come. Lars coaches the whole person, not just the player."

"Best coach a parent could ask for to nurture, motivate and develop. My daughter thinks he is the best coach ever. "

"Kevin Is a fantastic coach and loves athletes with heart and grit. He however has trouble finding assitant coaches that are as great and kind as he is. "

"Who doesn't love Tony? Big fan of his coaching style."

"Well it looks like Coach Pedroso did not like the negative, albeit honest reviews so he LOADED a bunch of positive ones ALL on 3/3 (10 in total). Clearly, this action just highlights his deceitful nature. Look in the mirror "Coach"--read the real reviews and do something about it other than writing your own fictitious reviews. Oh, ok maybe he asked his current players to write some too--OF COURSE they will write positive ones...the coach holds ALL the power...guess who determines who plays and who does not and on which court?!"

"I’ll keep this one short and sweet. If you think that your kid has professional aspirations and you feel cheated because Andres not only taught him the right way but also encouraged him to do what he wanted to do in life, even if that meant pursuing a career off the court, it doesn’t make Andres a bad coach. It makes you a self-centered and shite parent. You should want your son or daughter to succeed no matter what. If that means they’re a successful businessperson, you should be grateful that coach Pedroso encourage them to succeed on the court as well as in the classroom. "

"This coach is an example of what you want in a college tennis coach, a mentor, a friend, and more. He cares about his player’s deeply - not just as athletes, but as students and people. He wants to see you succeed in all facets of your life. He wants you to crush it, on and off the court. He’s not overbearing and he won’t grind his players to the bone with excessive practices, nor will he angrily light into them. You’re talking about a former top-25 ITA player himself, for a rival school no less. He knows the pressure to succeed. Think about what he’s accomplished. Following the most successful period in school history, he was given a class that he did not recruit and endured a tough year. Those recruits could’ve transferred when not given playing time. Instead, most stayed all four years. Those that stayed all graduated and were 2020-2021 ACC Champions as a brotherhood that I’ve never witnessed among a team. "

"Wow. These unfairly negative comments would never be posted like this if they weren't anonymous. All of the players loved Andres - my son was on the team for Andres's first 4 years - and although he's not perfect (show me a perfect coach - or person - anywhere), he's an amazingly honest, upstanding, Boy Scout of a guy. He plays by the book almost to a fault. He communicated clearly with us at every turn, and parents have to realize that even if your son is a great player, if he DNFs his matches, he won't have the standing he needs to compete at NCAAs. And regarding line-up changes at NCAAs, coaches move line-ups ALL THE TIME. From what we saw, Andres and his coaches make lineup adjustments based on match-ups with other teams (as do all coaches), and there was never once when a player was pulled from a lineup for any reason other than injury or bad match-ups. It floors me that there are parents who think otherwise but to each his own. I would also add what others have, which is you need to meet Andres and speak to him and speak to his players and you will see that all of the negativity here has nothing to do with Andres and everything to do with some bitter parents who have their own issues. He is a man of utmost integrity and if I had multiple sons, I would entrust them to Andres and the UVA mens tennis program in a heartbeat."

"A fantastic coach and great person. Recruits great kids and occasionally gets stuck with crazy jerk parents. Talk to the players. Ignore the parents. Granted, I’m a parent. But I saw the problem parents up close and know their issues. If you’re a parent with a tennis player, you’ve probably seen the type. If you want your player to have an outstanding Division I tennis, team and academic experience, you will not find a better coach than Andres or university than Virginia. The character problems reside with the complaining parents, not with Andres. You will not find a more honest person, to a fault. And the kids love the place and the person."
