Craig Roberts Reviews

My experience with Coach Robert’s has always been nothing but professional. Coach Robert’s goes above and beyond what’s required for his student athletes. He expressed care for his players both on and off the field. Roberts has a deep knowledge about the game. You can tell by the way he has been able to improve his players abilities and contribute that to wins on the field. He turned around a program that struggled and was able to help the girls to believe they could win. The girls had the upmost admiration for him and could tell they were genuinely happy to have them as their coach. I would recommend Coach Roberts to wherever he decides to go and he will have the ability to build a winning culture.

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.

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.

Very intense coach but has the mentality and ability to bring teams to a winning season

Personally, I had a very good experience with Craig as my coach during my time at Ball State. Though I had teammates who felt otherwise, I feel a major problem was the fact that Craig was extremely direct with his communication and did not excuse/take it easy on players who did not follow team rules and expectations…but honestly, my prior coach before I came to Ball State was much much worse. He truly exhibited sexist behavior and verbal/emotional abuse. Craig was always respectful towards me and was an actual caring coach who wanted to maximize my experience on and off the pitch. For me, Craig revitalized my passion for soccer and led our team to great success. Yes, I feel Craig needs to improve on his ability to control his temper and think before he speaks to players and referees, but I do not think he deserves to be labeled as abusive. When I look back on my collegiate experience, I believe Craig was someone who was a positive light on my athletic and academic experience. Though others have shared differing opinions, this is my honest feedback on MY experience.
