"Chugger is a fantastic coach who cares about his players on and off the field. He has put together a tremendous staff that balances each other out very well. Chugger provides direct feedback and will not sugar coat where you need to be better. You come to the ACC to compete with the best and Chugger will hold you to that standard. You will leave VT a better player and person. "
"She is the worst women known to man. She is a middle school girl stuck in a women’s body only looking to tear down girls. She is known to gossip about her players and test them down making them feel like nothing. This is not a program you ever want to attend or play for. The whole coaching staff is awful and the players who play for her wanted to leave but had to stay based off of their scholarship. HORRIBLE from what I have heard from girls on the team. "
"I honestly can say coach Skiera is not only a bad coach. She’s a bad human. We have watched her over the years find a weakness in a kid and drill down on it until she breaks the kid mentally - it’s almost a game to her. She lacks empathy compassion. I wish someone had told me about this site before I let my daughter go to college and play for her. The team has horrible morale and the players generally dislike her. It’s a very sad thing to have watched over the years."
"My daughter had the honor of being a part of this program, but the only thing that kept her going were her teammates. The coaching staff is toxic, the former AD was toxic, the AT staff and one particular member of the psych staff are toxic. Head coach doesn’t know how to make adjustments and for that reason has produced low performance from her team. The girls don’t care much for her and her care and emotion and wanting to “get to know you” is so she can berate and belittle at some other time in your career in the program. 10/10 would not recommend due to Wags and coaching staff that remains, they are extremely toxic.

"He is not for the Athlete. He does not care about the quality of Coaching being given to the athletes. He has repeatedly gotten rid of any coach that fights for their athlete. He is not who appears to be! Beware of this guy and his program at University of Arizona. "
"Really beautiful game field and playing in that stadium is awesome. The weight room is relatively ugly and outdated, but it gets the job done and more, and your team will probably be sharing the room with another sport while you are lifting because it is used for all Olympic Sports (not football or basketball), but what I did enjoy is that you are constantly associating with other teams. I transferred in and that is something that my old school didn't have, a student-athlete culture. It was very sport specific, but not here. Being an athlete here does mean something and you are treated like it does. The Student Athlete Performance Center (SAPC) is a new renovation, it is a dining hall and is incredibly nice and the food is consistently good, they also have lots of options and the staff is wonderful. All the athletics facilities are right next to each other on campus and everything is extremely walkable. There is also something called Oasis which is like the nutrition station and it is open whenever SAPC is not, so there is always an option to fuel. The training room is eh and is shared with everyone, including football and basketball, so it is always busy in there. WSOC specific, the locker room is pretty big and there is a separate room that has couches and is used for film or catching a nap between classes."
"Tech has a contagious culture with amazing support for athletics. You take pride in being an athlete and the facilities feel like home. They may not be the most modern, but it feels appropriate for the history of the school and the value on building things to last."
