Craig Roberts Reviews

He would beat us out to the field to have it all set up for a solid session, every day. We actually tried to beat him out....he never happened.

His style of coaching helped me be better as a player and person. He listened to us.

My personal and group experiences with coach Roberts were....that Coach Roberts was highly respected by us, and we never wanted to disappoint him. For the club and him, we wanted to go out and always give it our all. He was revered by everyone in the club because he protected us. The discipline was incredible, and it aided in upholding the standards we set for our lives. He acted as a father figure to the younger players on the team and served as a friend to the more experienced players. To be a strong leader, Coach Roberts' character traits are extremely essential. When I played for Coach Roberts, and looking back, I believe what inspired and fired me up was when he brought up our families, because there are times on the pitch when you feel like you're struggling a little bit and then you remember how hard your family worked to enable us to be where we are now. In the club, we all respect one other equally, care for one another, and ensure that we are compassionate. He was incredibly attentive and asked about everyone's families and knew their names. Things like that stick out in my recollection.

Craig has dedicated his life to the world of academia and competitive level soccer and I felt the impact of this from my time under his coaching. From day one Craig approached the team with a professional but fair position, he was always dedicated to helping us push our abilities and develop as a team. High level sport is an intense and competitive environment and for some they may have struggled to balance this change of pace. I found Craig’s honest and passionate mindset to the sport and to his players to be inspiring and what is required to make a professional athlete. I would highly recommend Craig and thank him for his time and efforts.

Great all around coach and person. In short amount of time he managed to take us from an unsuccessful program to a contender. My personal growth on the field came from his insight. Each member of the team was individually cared for and pushed. Due to this we had tremendous success. Our institute creates leaders. He was an example of how to compete and set standards. If you broke the rules there were consequences for your actions. He instilled qualities and expectations that have assisted me beyond soccer.

Nothing but positive things to say. He is very driven and expects a lot from his players however this drive enabled me to develop as a person and player. I received accolades for my performances during my playing day. Craig has been a strong reference for me and written reference letters that I believe helped me in my early stages to get a job.

Craig provided me with a chance of a lifetime. He was demanding but respectful. His coaching was very detailed and organized. Each year I believe he improved his relationship with me. His scouting reports enabled us to have an advantage over our opponents and also were a big reason why we got to compete for championship titles. Its been several years since I graduated but still to this day he checks in with me and wants to know how I'm doing.

He is a fraud. Doesn’t. Know how to coach, wonder why he keeps moving from college to college…who interviews him? He is not loyal and lies to the student athletes

Personally wasn’t really a great fit to be coaching womens soccer. Made sexist comments regularly, would make derogatory comments to girls about their appearance and would justify it as “I just care about you and your fitness levels” but when he’s saying boys don’t like girls that look like that then it makes it a disappointing experience having a coach like that. He makes a very good first impression, but it was all downhill once he had you there for preseason where he has the power. And he knows he has the power. Abusive man, stay clear

He put winning above the health of his players. Said that concussions were the new 'thing' that people were exaggerating and would often try to overrule the AT. That was when I knew I no longer wanted to play for him. I signed up for 4 years to be 'coached' by this man and he had zero thought for any of his players. Thankfully I had great teammates who became lifelong friends to overshadow what can only be described as a very underwhelming, disappointing part of my career
