I have really enjoyed my time playing for coach Burstein. You can tell he puts a lot of time into his job and his knowledge of the game is great. Despite his coaching ability and passion for coaching, he isn’t a great motivator. Once he has established his starters, it’s hard to get on the field which makes it hard to stay motivated. Then he expects you to be fit. Hard to be fit when you don’t play.

Coach is passionate about the team and cares so much about the players. He’s always available when you need him and he is supportive with everything you need. He is also an excellent coach. I’ve learned so much from him and I continue to get better from the way he coaches the entire team. He pushes you to be the best and he has very high standards. Big on details and winning is extremely important to the program.

Coach is smart an knows the game very well. He cares about the team and about winning games. He is very prepared for practices and games and makes adjustments when necessary. He takes time to meet with players and check in with them frequently. Could use his subs more. Team culture is great and I love the girls on the team.

I am an alumna of Rutgers-Newark (2004-2005) and played for coach Burstein during his brief spell at RUN. He took over a failing program with deep issues and brought us immediate success. His ability to adapt was out of this world and his knowledge and understanding of how to instruct the players was something special. We were all devastated when he left, but deep down we all knew he had the talent to coach at a much higher level. He is the best coach I have ever played for and I am forever grateful for what he taught me and our team. Not surprised to see all his success at Kutztown. He is exceptional on so many levels!

I played for coach Burnstein on a summer league team and I can honestly say that I learned more about the sport from him in 2 months than I have from my DI college coaches over the past three years. His knowledge and understanding of the game and tactics is second to none. He is the most effective coach I have ever played for and he should be coaching at a higher level!

My development as a player and a person was strongly influenced by the things I learned playing for Coach Burstein. His attention to detail and his consistency when holding the team accountable to the standards he set is something I appreciate so much more now. There is no argument when it comes to his tremendous knowledge of the game. He is an excellent coach and really knows what he is doing. Coach has influenced my growth on and off the field and I am forever grateful to him for that.

Coach is sometimes hard to communicate with as I feel he already has his mind made up before you have a conversation with him. He can also play favorites and I think that impacts playing time for some players. His knowledge and understanding of the game is impressive and he is extremely organized and always prepared. He is passionate about his job and he cares deeply about the program. Sometimes he provides information with too much detail and I think it would be better to make things simpler and easy to understand.

Coach is sometimes hard to communicate with as I feel he already has his mind made up before you have a conversation with him. He can also play favorites and I think that impacts playing time for some players. His knowledge and understanding of the game is impressive and he is extremely organized and always prepared. He is passionate about his job and he cares deeply about the program. Sometimes he provides information with too much detail and I think it would be better to make things simpler and easy to understand.

Coach Burstein has a very clear vision for how he wants the team to play and the program to operate. At first I was sick of hearing about the details, standards, expectations and I really struggled with accountability. At first, this hurt my confidence, it was a struggle, I wanted to leave the team and give up on soccer. I didn't. I continued to work and I am so happy I did. Coach really helped develop me as a player and he pushed me to reach levels I never thought were possible. He would talk to me all the time about embracing the process. Playing at KU and playing for coach was a hard adjustment for me, but it has been so rewarding. Once I really began to follow the plan and just allowed my process to run I saw improvement.

Very knowledgeable with great enthusiasm for coaching and soccer. Always organized and prepared, but I do feel Coach should spend more time talking to the players and building a better relationship with them overall. Girls on the team are amazing and the culture is very Good.

Coach Burstein is very committed to the program and he works hard. You can tell he cares about the players and the program and wants us to be successful. Practices are very organized, but sometimes we do the same things. He is very knowledgeable about the game and always prepared.

Very good Women’s soccer program! Extremely well run, but incredibly challenging. Coach Burstein is easily one of the best coaches I have played for. Extremely knowledgeable and beyond prepared. Standards and expectations are very high, so if you go to KU, be prepared to be challenged and be prepared to work. Coach is passionate and deeply cares for the program, its success and the players on the team. He will hold you accountable to the standards that are set, which some people may not like. Hardest part for me, realizing that my teammates were just as good, if not better, then I was. I had always been the best player on my club team and high school team. Got to KU, I was not longer the best. Super hard to deal with, but I managed and I never regret the decision to play at KU. Overall amazing experience. Learned a ton, developed into better player and person, made life long friends.
