"He lives, breaths, and sleeps pole vault. Will go out of his way to make things happen for his athlete and will always have your back. Is so knowledgeable and since he jumped very high himself he knows how to explain the feels of the vault. Works with his athletes to better technique… doesn’t just bark orders. Is a great coach and a great guy."
"Marci Byers has ruined VT volleyball and she has ruined the college athletic experience for a lot of players. She is a manipulator, a narcissist, and overall a horrible person. On top of everything, she has no knowledge about volleyball and is not a good leader or coach. "
"She is the worst coach I’ve ever had in my life. Not only is she an awful coach but an awful person. Consistently lies and manipulates players. Is even disrespectful to her coworkers. I can get into too many details but be careful if you come into contact with this woman. "
"I am a former swimmer of Sergio and did not enjoy my time swimming under him. There was a double standard for the international athletes and Americans and he would not keep his word in regards to meet lineups, roster spots, or scholarship allocation. Sergio is a liar and shameful man."
"Sergio is a disappointment to most on the team. He once was a great coach I imagine, but now he just doesn’t care and acts like he doesn’t even want to be on the poor deck. Sergio and the rest of the coaching staff are some of the most closed-minded people I have ever met. They will not work with you to achieve your goals unless they align with their own goals. "
"100% worst experience. She is knowledgeable but would rather play head games with the girl than put together a confident culture, regardless of winning, Byers is a pathetic example of a leader, coach or anything. She’s in it for the paycheck!"
"Arrogant and disrespectful behind closed doors has a pending lawsuit by former player. Misogynistic man who treats players like cattle. Glad I left the program and I’m thriving at new university. Do your homework highest penalized team in conference all he teaches is how to be nasty."
"I couldnt have asked for a better experience at Virginia Tech. Whether things were going well for me on the court or not. Coach Thompson was there for me as a person first and thats why his teams are always good"
"He is the most amazing coach, and I appreciate everything he did for me and our team. Always there to talk when needed and the most knowledgeable coach I know."
"He truly wants you to be your best version of yourself on and off the field. When you want to play in the ACC this is what you want in a coach. He will be honest about when you can give more to the team and wants you to get better each day. Cares about you off the field more than anything. "
"Absolutely awful. Needs to be fired. Has sent 12/14 girls to sports psychologist and within her first 2 years has cause 1 transfer, 1 girl to quit, and one girl to get released because of depression and anxiety."
"Sergio is the coach that will push your limits every single day. He is friendly in and out of the pool! When there is work that is needed to put in the pool (aka hard practices), he is intense and will make you better. I can be honest with him and have build a great relationship. He can ready different people and see what he can do to help them."
"Extremely knowledgable about the game of soccer and has added staff members who bring different coaching and playing perspectives, which is great. However, at times he is hard to communicate with and not super personable."
"Kevin Dresser is a winner. While I understand his job entails he is to build a winning program, I don't think that means "at all cost", but I think that is kind of where Kevin Dresser's heart has come to rest. The guy is very knowledgeable of the sport and what it takes to become a champion, but he is very selective as to who he puts his time and effort into making a champion, maybe not a bad thing, but I never got the help I had worked hard to receive."
"This is our first year having him, so I've only been through the fall with him so far. He's very knowledgable, but definitely pushed our team to our breaking point; which made us stronger. He's very focused on fitness and stick work. Also very upfront about playing time and what people need to work on. Very brutally honest."
"An amazing person with great character. He understands the demands of being student-athletic, and he ensures everyone is doing well both on and off the field."
