Is a good assistant coach and knows the sport well. Likes to choose favorites and makes it well known, hyper focuses on certain people. This coach can make good sets and can be encouraging but not when it is needed the most. The team culture is made less serious and more fun but also more divided.

Kyle is a great coach. He is always willing to help myself and other swimmers both in and out of the pool. He is a very dedicated coach, but is also very dedicated to making sure we are all doing well in the classrooms. He is also very dedicated to mental health, and knows if any of us on the team are having an off day. He is willing to take time to sit and talk about anything, and always checks in afterwards.

Kyle is very uplifting and always asks how you are. He just does not care about you as an athlete, but he cares about you has an individual. Kyle is always positive and he gives you tips specifically for what you need. You can ask him anything and will not feel ashamed. He is someone who is not only a coach, but a good mentor and someone who is well driven and passionate. He shows interest in everyone on the team, not only the fastest in the pool. He keeps the atmosphere at ease and always knows how to make everyone feel good about themselves.

Coach Kyle has been the GA at Misericordia for the past year. Throughout the season, he created a fun and encouraging atmosphere while also motivating every team member to do their best both in the pool and out. He frequently would check in on every athlete to see how they were doing with academics, mentally, and athletically and would always be available if we just needed to talk. He has a great rapport with every team member, and we have quite the diverse team. He helps each athlete achieve their personal goals and helps wherever he can. Coach Kyle is also knowledgable about the sport and does a great job preparing for meets, critiquing our strokes, and motivating us to push ourselves. Overall, Coach Kyle is a great coach that you can always count on being upbeat and fun while remaining professional as a coach.

Coach Kyle is truly one of the best coaches I’ve had through out my swimming career. He is caring, knowledgeable and pushes everyone on the team to do their absolutely best. He brings a great positive team atmosphere by cheering on every single swimmer during swim meets and gives everyone the advice and the support they need. During practice he is informative and clear on what we should work on and picks out our flaws as soon as he sees them and helps us on ways we can improve. At times when we’re tried and unmotivated he brings his humor and determination into it making myself and the team in better spirits and in a better mood to continue a positive athletic performance. I’m so grateful I’ve been able to have Kyle as a coach this swim season and I cannot wait for him again to coach next year.

Kyle has a great attitude and is always fun to be around, especially at meets. He is devoted to everyone individually on the team and is very passionate about coaching. He makes time crack jokes and laugh, but he can also be there in more serious matters. Very easy to like and get along with as an athlete.
