"The worst coach I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. An emotionally abusive, out of touch, dishonest person who is a subpar leader and terrible communicator. Her behavior in my time at Bowdoin was unacceptable and the fact she is still a coach at a prestigious institution is laughable. Do not send your daughter to Bowdoin to play under Grote, and if she’s there right now, check in on her. "
"One of the worst coaches I have ever had. Truly terrible. Mean, a bully, teams up against players at individual meetings, and lacks intelligence, especially emotional intelligence. I love Bowdoin, and Liz is not Bowdoin. Liz lacks the capacity for concern over well-being, she has no concern for mental health, she prioritizes her agenda, disguising it as "what is best for the team," and if the record shows anything, she has not been best for the team. I hope she never coaches anyone else again, for everyone's sake. "
"Liz is an exceptional person and coach. She is fair, compassionate and competitive! She wants student-athletes to grow as players and people! she truly believes in coaching the whole person to be the best athlete, player, and student while developing leadership skills and quality character traits. "
"Horrific coach. Self-centered, practices favoritism, and brings her home life to practice. Grote’s 10 year lacrosse record speaks for itself. Don’t get yourself stuck in Maine with the coach from hell!"
"Come to Bowdoin for your education. Absolutely not for this coach. Knowledgeable about the game though awkward, favorites players, and does not have concern of her team’s culture which ultimately translates to poor team performance. This is reflective of team performances "
"loves all of us like her daughters. i grew tremendously under liz as an athlete and a person. her biggest weakness is communication of what she wants from individuals but if you ask her directly she will tell you and not be weird about it. as a player you just need to get comfortable doing that which is an important skill to learn anyway.
