My daughter left UT because of this coach. She was passionate about the game and recognized fir her skill on her HS and Club teams. Unfortunately there are no positives to select. The coach is aloof - unreachable - I question her knowledge of the game. These reviews are an ongoing testament to yhis coach’s impact on her student athletes. WAKE UP UT ATHLETICS…. does this team embody the spirit and pride of your other teams?

Very poor communicator and only cares about getting recruits to ID camp to make money not recruit. Leads multiple players on without and feedback or follow up. Almost exclusively recruits from the transfer portal. Maybe due to lack of coaching ability and once this Covid nonsense of six years is over Tampa will struggle. No culture within this team and results speak for themselves.

Her results speak for themselves. Tampa has continued to get worse and worse every year she has been with the program. She treats recruits with so much disrespect and she is unprofessional to club coaches thinking she is more then she is. Waiting for the UT to wake up and make a coaching change - the university and location are amazing however I would 100% tell player to run away from this program until this coach is replaced.

I am convinced the players that Coach Erin ghosted are 10x better than the kids she brought on, and that’s coming from a Tampa player. She manipulates and ghosts recruits like no other and thinks she has one of the best teams in the SSC when each year we progressively get worse and worse. Maybe this year she can prove us all wrong but it’s no coincidence she has a low rating… and recruits don’t deserve to get lead on and ghosted by an adult. I’m a former player on the Tampa squad and have had recruits talk to me at ID camps and I straight up would tell them she is known for ghosting girls and that I wanted to transfer. Transferring was the best decision I could have made for myself and Ik some of the girls who quit don’t even regret it. I loved Tampa but the soccer program here is just the worst.

Thinks she can treat recruits like she is at a top D1 program. She has not delivered results since she has been at University of Tampa. She took over a National Championship team and has not had success. The location and facilities are driving recruits to want to play at UT but all she has done is focus on the transfer portal for D1 players who couldn’t make it at that level. Would be a good strategy if she was respectful and honest to recruits. Many of them will not forget how she treated them and they will go to competing school and they won’t forget how she ghosted them. They will play with a chip on their shoulder and heart can overcome a lot. Predict UT has a hard time producing results until they fire Coach Switalski. They say coaches don’t forget but neither do recruits.

Erin is a coach who puts on a front for recruits but is toxic to her players. She has her own favorites and doesn't let others see the field. Also, she runs a VERYYY disorganized program. The program could start winning more if the coaches actually utilized the University of Tampa and its athletic facility. Or even if the coach actually cared about all her players.
