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.

much better vibe than past couple of years. The new coaches are so much more positive. Along with Coach Studd they have made this year so much better. My teammates are also no longer allowed to float.

This coach goes out of his way to communicate with each of us on the team and he created an amazing environment at ACCs. I’ve never been part of a team that is so tight. It’s because of Coach Studd’s leadership and example. Negativity comes only from those who are not in it to win. We have no room for that on this team.

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.

The head coach Neal and the rest of the staff are amazing. He’s passionate about coaching and holds us to a high standard. This is D1 after all! The only reason to be mad is if you don’t travel or don’t work hard and show up to practice. That would be on the you, not coach. Our team works hard, there are a couple that don’t and they are no long part of our team or they are on the way out. The rest of us are killing it and having fun.. FSU is for hardworking serious swimmers that also have fun.
