Neal Studd Reviews

Love swimming for Neal! Thank you for always going above and beyond coach!

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.

Disrespectful to swimmers. He bullies kids and makes fun of them. He never coaches, he stands on the side of the pool and complains about people and his health issues. This team is going down hill. He needs to be replaced to save the talent of the swimmers.

All Neal Studd does is talk about his money. He is a boastful individual, and he does not have a single ounce of care for any of his athletes. It is so embarrassing. I was ashamed to be apart of a team led by this man who has a significant lack in morals. Prior to COVID, when we got our butts handed to us from UF, he refused to let us shake their hands. This is unheard of for a swim meet. It was so embarrassing that I texted their head coach and apologized. I really hope he leaves soon and someone more passionate comes instead. I quit swimming because of how miserable he made it. He picks favorites and stares at other females in an inappropriate manner on deck. He also is way too involved with wanting to know gossip about swimmers and talking poorly about them to other swimmers. I would run if you were looking at this program. He is also known for following inappropriate instagram accounts with females flashing their body parts. It is disgusting because they are our age and he has a little daughter. I would rather eat glass than swim another year under him.

He picked favorites on the team

I have almost lost my eligibility twice due to Neal Studd’s disregard/carelessness for NCAA rules. There is no accountability from him, the other staff, or the FSU athletic department when it comes to multiple rule infractions and student-athlete mental/physical health. Too many people have come forward with stories and no action is taken.

Biggest waste of a year in my entire life. Also in the biggest top 3 regrets of my entire life. Could not have gone worse

Horrible coach over recruites and then leaves you out to dry if you don’t perform should honestly be fired as the head coach for FSU swimming and diving

My experience under Neal Studd was subpar to say the least. He is a manipulative person who knows his way with words, and only cares about his boat, & boasting about his bonuses at the end of year. Would not be surprised if he tells his staff to create fake accounts here to boost his reviews. He is not fit to lead a program as reputable as FSU.
