"Loved playing for him. "

"Tough guy, very passionate about the game but struggles to control temper. But shows passion and that he cares"

"Great overall but only saw her on a visit, really nice though"

"Very aggressive and passionate about the game. Direct and strong leader."

"Sara has led the UVA women's tennis team to new heights and continues to recruit top players who move on to the professional circuit. During matches she is dialed into what's happening on every court, and doesn't hesitate to step in and steady a player when needed. She is an excellent communicator about the team, match results, and how parents can get involved to support the program. "

"Mike and Sonia are dishonourable and are what is wrong with college sports. "

"Excellent leadership, technical skill and interpersonal relationships."

"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. "

"Seemed like he was a blue-collar coach who had a vision for his team. "

"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. "
