Steve is an outdated coach that refuses to change with the times. His methods are repetitive and relatively ineffective. If you are not on Steve's list of favorites, he hates you and will make it know he doesn't like you.

Steve is an excellent recruiter, but he is a horrible coach. He makes his swimmers feel small and unimportant. He pretends to be invested but it is clear he truly does not care. He only pays attention to swimmers on scholarships and ignores the rest of the team.

Coach Potsklan is a nice guy. However, his coaching abilities need dramatic improvement. His greatest coaching flaw is his inability to adapt to the ever-evolving sport. The improvement in the team this year is due to an attitude change from within the team, and had very little to do with Coach Potsklan. I do not recommend swimming his program.

Steve is a nice guy, but not a good coach. Does not motivate the team and gives off the impression that he does not care about the team. It is very difficult to get a straight answer from him and at times it is hard to get along with him. Either he needs to make a U-turn in terms of his coaching or he needs to be fired.

Lacks basic communication skills, unnecessarily rude about things out of your control, don't expect to be coached unless you're on a full ride.
