Absolutely worse coach ever. Made me lose passion for a sport i’ve been doing for 15 years in a matter of days with his program.

Lied to swimmers. Poor communication. Bad leadership. Surprised that a quality school like Fordham keeps this guy around.

Disrespectful and ignorant. One of the worst coaches in college and it’s crazy to think he’s been at Fordham for so long. No respect for anyone and his swimmers clearly don’t respect him.

Steve is an outdated coach who does not know how to be honest with people or treat people with respect. He has not kept his knowledge of the sport up with modern times and does not understand how to make swimmers faster. Most swimmers do not improve on his team. Steve is also a liar to boot, he makes promises he can't keep and does not communicate.

He has no idea how to actually train swimmers who don’t benefit from what are basically all sprint workouts. He also has no idea how to put together a conference team, or train people for a third event so almost everyone ends up swimming the 50 at co Terence.

Steve is a good guy who beats around the bush. His clarity with athletes is not there and his effort is clearly lower than his previous years.

He doesn't seem to care about anything and gives little effort. He will tell us at practice to "go faster" and when his swimmers ask for advice and how, he responds with "find a way". He's a coach. He needs to give us tips and help us. He is disrespectful and closed minded. He is hard to talk to about things. He is horrible with communication

He claims to be very knowledgeable of the sport, but this knowledge is only conveyed to his favorites. He is difficult to communicate with, and he is too passive. He does not keep his team accountable and the continuously poor results from the men's team proves this. He needs to change if things are to improve, but it's clear he won't do that

Steve is an outdated coach that refuses to change with the times.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.

Nice guy, in some cases knows what he's talking about. Most times practice is frustratingly not directed toward ones specific stroke. You don't matter if you're not on scholarship. Uses practice material from 20 years ago. Not very motivational.

If you're looking for a coach who won't talk to you, Steve's the right couch for you. You'd be lucky if he mumbles a couple words to you after your races. His program is run on favoritism, rather than swimmers' actual times. He is probably the least motivational coach I've met and his practices are a joke. Dishonest and unaccountable.

Steve is not transparent at all. It's impossible to get a straight answer from the guy. Also, he's just mean to people over things they can't control.

Steve has been a swim coach for around 20 years. This may be his biggest problem. He continues to use the same methods of coaching which in our sport, is detrimental. Our sport has evolved so much, yet Steve is too proud to change his techniques. This mindset has led to a lack of improvement among our swimmers and has really impacted the program in a negative way.
