"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. "

"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 "
