Neil cares a lot about his athletes, especially in their academic and extracurriculars. He is willing to get you connected with people in your ideal professional industry if he has the resources. As a coach, he can be very emotional if players aren't performing at at times berate them, wavering their confidence and trust.

Playing for Neil McGuire turned out to be a very tough four years. He, and the program, was not at all what I had anticipated or expected after taking my official visit. The he mind games and favoritism he displayed are not suitable for coaching, and certainly not adult woman.
