Accessible Cool Respectful To Players Understanding
Neal is easy going and does not too intense. He unfortunately only focuses on his top swimmers, which the majority are international. The efforts of the slower swimmers in the pool, academically, and community involvement is not recognized nor appreciated. He gives too much power to a very judgmental assistant coach, Athena. But if you want to swim but not live and die by swimming like other D1 programs and want to have fun with great teammates FSU is your place.

It seems Neal's only goal is to make himself successful. You can tell from his demeanor and how he speaks about his student-athletes that he does not truly respect or care about them. During recruiting, Neal stresses a transparent coaching staff and team values yet in fact it is the complete opposite. FSU has great resources but Neal is not one.
