With all of the drama around terrible coaches in D1 sports it has been such a blessing to swim for Neal. He has been such a wonderful mentor and coach to me over the years. He and the other coaches care about us more than just as athletes. I’ve improved so much as an athlete and individual just by his example. Neal has been wonderful to swim for! Thank you so much Coach!

Honest Knowledgeable Motivational Believes In You Creates A Great Team Culture
I had such a good experience being coached by Neal. Neal made a lot of changes this year, he brought in new coaches (positive people) and held all of the negative and lazy athletes accountable (no more missing practices). The team is so much better for these changes. Last year we had a couple of negative coaches and negative athletes. They've thankfully moved on and the team is SO much better off.

He is very motivating and believes in the program which makes for a great practice environment. He invests in his athletes and takes the time to meet with us one on one. He’s honest and sometimes that can be tough to hear, but he is also easy to meet with and truly cares about us and our success in life.

What you see is what you get with Coach Studd. He’s fair and honest and expects a lot out of us. He cares about us as individuals as well as an athlete. Work hard and communicate with coach you will have an awesome experience at FSU, don’t and you’ll probably just blame him and post ugly comments.

Honest Knowledgeable Cares About Academics Fair Great Communicator
FSU swimming is a fantastic program. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the team and the staff. Some of us on the team have read these ongoing comments and have said nothing. This is going to stop. Coach asked us what we wanted this year more than anything and it was for people to be held accountable. This season so far has been fantastic. The coaches are holding us accountable for missing practice and everyone is working hard. The team loves FSU, we love the staff and we love swimming.
