"What coach allows their wife and newborn child to stay at the house rented for 18 young women during the spring break training trip???? We all had to fundraise money and pay out of our own pockets to afford this trip while her wife and child get a free trip to Orlando????? When returning back from dinner with our families (because Neubinski did not want to pay for our dinners with the money WE fundraised), we would get shushed the second we stepped foot into the house because her child was sleeping. WELL WHY IS YOUR NEWBORN CHILD STAYING WITH US IN THE FIRST PLACE?????"

She's explained to me how certain rules come into play within the game and why things are the way they are. She was upfront and honest about playing time and told me what I had to work on to improve. She is organized and obviously plans practice before we're actually at practice. I'd play for this coach any time. "

Accessible Cares About Academics Knowledgeable Creates A Great Team Culture Dedicated To Players

"Manny is an amazing coach that approaches the sport of rowing in a very unconventional way. He puts extreme focus on team unity and using teammates as vessels for motivation. This team focus allows each member of the team to be their own individual leader and facilitates a friendly but necessary peer-to-peer competitiveness. As a coach he emphasizes the importance of academics and encourages rowers to attend sports psychology sessions that break down the meaning of leadership. These sessions are typically 45' - 1 hr long but teach athletes how to standout beyond the confines of their sport. As far as rowing goes, he does a very good job at laying out his plan and ambitions for each season. He has a rotating schedule of easy, medium, or hard weeks. This both eases rowers into the beginning of the season and then helps to facilitate leaps in physical ability as the season progresses. He is very good at debriefing with each boat after races, understanding what went right, wrong, and what could be done better. These small things build and have allowed him to grow a program that was in shambles after Covid-19 lockdowns to one that is beginning to climb up the DIII ranks. One critique is that he is not always the greatest at giving clear on the water instruction for correcting technique. But we have another coach that is fairly good at giving tech pointers. "

Accessible Cares About Academics Knowledgeable Creates A Great Team Culture Dedicated To Players

"This coach cannot, build a boat, establish an effective practice, hold a cool temper, and coach both men’s and women’s team equally. He was majorly biased to his favorite fastest rowers and only cared to talk to them. He would constantly threaten he was going to have a “manurizm” and explode. As a result, there was never a time when I felt comfortable with this coach. Because of how he built boats and orchestrated practices, i hold a firm belief he didn’t know how to be prestigious rowing coach. I think overall he’s on a major ego trip, because he was able to get his name on the boathouse. The only notable achievement of his career was taking a M Lwt Quad to youth internationals and placed 10/11th. Overall, he’s a mentally abusive coach and needs a major reality check. "

" I was initially recruited to play lacrosse at Skidmore College, which was a significant opportunity for me. Unfortunately, I had to make the difficult decision to quit the team due to several reasons, primarily related to my mental health challenges and the dynamics with the coach, Ghilardi. During my time on the team, I found Coach Ghilardi to be cold and hurtful in her approach to motivating players. Her coaching style often involved pointing out our flaws and weaknesses, with the belief that this would push us to improve. However, instead of motivating us, it created a constant fight or flight mentality within the team. Her tactics seemed to undermine our self-esteem rather than boost our confidence. One of the most concerning aspects of my experience was the high turnover rate on the women's lacrosse team. This suggests that I wasn't the only one who felt this way. It's disheartening to witness Coach Ghilardi seemingly taking advantage of her players' vulnerabilities, which contradicts the importance she preaches about mental health. Although Coach Ghilardi may emphasize mental health, my fellow teammates often reported feelings of stress, unhappiness, and disappointment. It's evident that her coaching style had a detrimental impact on our well-being. She not only failed to support us mentally but also came across as a dream crusher and a bully, making it an unpleasant and unhealthy environment for student-athletes. I hope that the Skidmore College administration can address these issues to create a healthier and more supportive environment for student-athletes, where both physical and mental well-being are taken into consideration."

If you do find yourself in Coach’s good graces, then your fellow teammates will retaliate against you. This creates a toxic environment where the players self esteem is sabotaged. I do not recommend coming to Skidmore to play Women’s lacrosse under any circumstances. She has also cut recruits. Beware!!"

"Choach Ghilardi ruins lacrosse for people who have grown up loving it and as a result has also negatively impacted entire college experiences. She doesn’t value getting to know her players, their preferred coaching styles and they ways to give and receive feedback that work best for them. She thinks everyone needs to respond well to her style- she once yelled at the team telling us we were all “too soft” in response to one of her players crying after she yelled and tore them apart on the sideline of a game. She doesn’t understand the importance of family conflict or mental health. Death of a family member or school friend is not important nor does she understand why it would affect you- that is until it is within the team. We’ve had captains quit… we’ve had almost entire grades quit and if you try and have a conversation letting her know that the team is going to lose more people for x, y and z reasons, she will turn it on you and say the information you are giving isn’t true and that you’re just upset with how your season is going. Her team has literally had a team counselor before and she refused to adapt to the suggestions that the counselor gave. "

"Undoubtedly a regrettable experience. Ghilardi only plays favorites (and those whose families donate significantly), runs them into the ground, and doesn't care to give any other players a chance. Dreadful team culture of starters vs. people who never see the field (not because they're bad, but because they aren't on coach's pedestal). An overworked team of bench players with false hopes of playing time when starters will continue to see the field even through injury. Cannot stress enough that no matter how good you are, if you are not a favorite, you won't play and if you ask for reasons, there will be no solid ones in response. During my time, over a dozen people quit (I wish that I was one of them), and the rest of us banded together to commiserate over our poor experience on the team. Skidmore is a great school, but this team and coaching experience ruined the sport for me and many others, in addition to amplifying mental health struggles with little to no support from the coaching staff.

"All talk, no game. On the surface Joe seems to be on top of all the basic needs to be a successful coach. However, his inability to genuinely connect with his players and coaching staff due to his napoleonic ego has lead to a shell of a team. Refuses to look in a mirror and blames lack of progress on tenured players. Has no experience playing the offensive side of the ball. Skidmore, and Saratoga as a whole, has great possibility to host a solid team but won't happen under him. Wouldn't recommend this program to anyone while Joe is at the helm. - former starter. "

"Joe Martin is an amazing recruiter. But what he lacks is relating and connecting to college athletes. There is no mutual respect and he has a constant power trip. He is incapable of giving any kind of responsibility to his assistant coaches and looks at incoming freshman with more confidence then 4 year seniors who have put the work in to be on the team. This explains why Skidmore mens lacrosse is always a young team. His retention rate for players is the horrible and when I decided to leave the team and meet with my coaches, my assistant coach told me he was not allowed to talk during our meeting."

Furthermore, when other teams visit to play games at Skidmore, they are given the general women’s or men’s locker room to be in. It was always embarrassing for us. "

"So Skidmore really fails in the athletic facility department. For such a high academic school the "temporary" facility that they built 10+ years ago is absolutely laughable. It really sets us behind a lot of schools in the Liberty League or NESCAC. Athletes are not a priority and that shows on a daily basis, but worse than that their regular gym and facilities for all students are awful. Indoor tennis is off campus which is to note. Outdoor courts are nice though, those well done."

"Not knowledgeable in general, only know how to coach doubles. That he does very well. But every other aspect of a coach that you would seek, he does not embody. He is dishonest, manipulative, and treats his adult players like children. Thus, Skidmore tennis feels like an after-school program you are forced to show up to. Talented guys,soitsashame. "

"He doesn't care about his female athletes. He puts practice before academics. He claps at us to get our attention, like dogs. Rude and disrespectful to our coxswain. Doesn't coach on the water, drives the launch as far away from the boat as possible and only yells at the coxswain when he wants something. Never gives the rowers advice or any coachin"

"Makes a lot of demeaning comments towards athletes and refuses to change his coaching techniques. Rowing as a sport has changed a lot over the years but he still coaches like it's 1980. Takes away opportunities for growth on the team and has effectively hindered the team dynamic. Favors the men over the women. Also where's the new boathouse?"

"Very poor communication skills. Extremely dishonest. Likes to pin teammates against one another.

"Coach Simms is not knowledgeable about tennis, plays strong favorites with a select one or two people each season, and if you do not tend to relate to his personal non-tennis related beliefs, you are a social outcast to him. Every practice feels equal to going out and rallying with someone for two hours, I feel like I haven't had genuine tennis instruction since I was in high school. The reason the team is successful in league and tournament play is strictly because of the players."

"He is very sarcastic, this means he often comes across a bit harsh. He cares deeply about all the athletes however tends to show his frustrations about athletes with chronic injuries. He does tend to play favorites to those athletes that he feels are more into the sport, whether or not it is true. His practices can be incredibly frustrating, if you cannot handle being yelled at for 2 hours straight, then this is not the coach for you, but it will make you better."

While she may seem to take team voice seriously, it was common to feel belittled or even manipulated by her. However, she does know her stuff. While her pursuit for perfection from her team was often frustrating and tiring, I did more than I ever thought I could accomplish at Skidmore because of the work ethic she imparted."

"Ron is a great guy and is very supportive of his players. He was honest with his recruiting and gives all of his players a fair chance. He is somewhat hard to relate to (which I think is ok for a coach). My biggest complaint was that I don't feel many players get better throughout their time at Skidmore, and if they do it is on their own time and not with the coaching staff. Also, in-game management can be occasionally frustrating."

"Beth is a great & effective coach. She turns her bench players into starters to continue on maintaining the strong SCFH reputation. You'll become a better player under her, guaranteed, with a deeper understanding of game & strategy. She is harder on the non-starters & doesn't connect to them as well. If you aren't cutting it, you'll know it. The key is to not take her tone personally, and push yourself to be better- not to be discouraged or think you'll never play."

"Love Lacey so so so much!! Amazing person and so funny!! Her and Emmie have the best dynamic!! Wish there was a little more communication between her and her players in terms of playing time i.e why they're taken out or not playing and what they can do better, etc. but overall I wouldn't want to have played anywhere else!"

"Lacey is an extremely nice person, the kind of coach that you can get to know and are comfortable with. At our beginning of the year meetings we talked about how my chances of getting minutes were very good, this was not reflected at all during the season. I wish she would be more up front about what athletes can expect from the season. This being said Lacey is very willing to practice with players outside of practice to help them improve."

"He was knowledgeable about the sport, but practices did not seem like they were at the "college level". We spent a lot of time on basic fundamentals that college level players should already know. Practices were short (usually less than 2 hours), and the time was not used very wisely sometimes. Our equipment and field also suck, bad."

"She is likable, easy to get along with, and passionate about the game, but is very non-confrontational. She is always open to meet with players and talk, but if players come to her with concerns about playing time and ways they can improve it she usually gives vague answers that are little help. Overall, Lacey is the type of coach for players looking for a comfortable and supportive team environment."

"I had a different experience than most as Lacey was did not recruit me and was my coach for my last two years. In my personal opinion she was not honest with players and unable to bring out individuals potential. She came into a program that was successfully being built with consistent winning records, league playoff contenders and NCAA qualifiers and with her coaching the expectations have drastically been lowered and the current program now ends the season with a losing record."

"I have heard that she has been better since many girls have quit, but she ruined the sport of lacrosse for me. I used to love it and I was a confident, great player but she really made me feel insecure/unconfident on the field and when I was going through tough family stuff she was not understanding and/or helpful. Quitting was a great decision."

"Draws you in with a lot of "hype". Nice guy until you lose, then he'll play the silent game and leave your court. Plays favorites, and will quickly shut you out if you aren't playing at his standards. His main philosophy is to hit "loops" and "grind it out", so if you are an aggressive player who doesn't like to grind and hit a million balls, this team isn't for you. Not knowledgable in the sport at all, tennis isn't about "looping", the game is far too advanced for that. Unfortunately this guy is stuck in the past, the team has a ton of potential, but with his coaching, it won't break any top 10 rankings. So before you commit, ignore the "long" email he'll send about how much he'd love to have you on the team. Instead, think about your game, how you want to play, and if it matches his philosophy. If it doesn't, you'll have a rough time enjoying the sport. I wish i'd known this before I played."

"My coach recruited players by promising spots to them before seeing them play. Players trusted that and came to the college and realized he only said that to get people to come to the college. My coach plays favorites all the time and doesnt take anything into account inregards to anything he says both at the beginning of the year and at the beginning of season. He says he will play people who work hard...that is not true. He says he doesnt take into account challenge matches...thats not true. Lastly, he says that he wants players be aggresive however always tells people to play tentatively. I really dislike how he takes credit for peoples success when in reality he literally sat there, told people what to do, they completely ignore him and they win. I have a lot of issues with my coach and many other girls on my team do as well."

"Beth was very nosy with social behavior of players. She would often pry for information far beyond what she needed to know as a coach. Players that provided this information, Beth really liked. In turn, players that did not provide the information, she would tend to not like. Along with this, it was incredibly uncomfortable to travel with her or go to other sports-related events due to how disrespectful and rude she could be to other people (i.e. parents, hotel employees on overnights, people working games at other campuses, etc.). She would often talk down to people and be very dismissive, making it very uncomfortable to be associated with her. Lastly, she tended to have a very different coaching style depending on who she was directing her coaching to on the field. There would be players that could do no wrong in her eyes and others that would constantly receive negative feedback no matter what the outcome of the game was. Overall it was a very discouraging way of coaching and affected many people I played with throughout the years very poorly."

"She was extremely knowledgeable, used our time effectively, respected time commitments, ensured that we fulfilled academic commitments, and really wanted us to learn. I fully absorbed appreciation for these things after graduating and realising how much I'd learned from her. At the time, I was quite caught up in the fact that she paid more attention to starters, did not connect with us on a social level, and had a level of intimidation that instilled a bit of perfectionism and anxiety at times. However ultimately I learned from all of these things, whether 'good' or 'bad'!"

"Beth is not the kind of coach looking to also be your friend. She is tough, expects a lot, and makes it known when you're not meeting those expectations. But I became a better player and person under her watch and I wouldn't have wanted to play for anyone else. She knows the game, knows how to win, and knows how to keep her team working together. If you work hard for her, she will work hard for you both on and off the field."

"For anyone actually reading these reviews, as you can tell all but one of them are very similar. Almost ALL of these reviews share that Neubinski is a terrible coach AND person who has no respect for the young women on her team and constantly degrades them. However, there is one very positive comment that stands out from the rest. As someone who was once part of this horrid program, it would not surprise me if someone close to Neubisnki (possibly the assistant coach) wrote that review in order to make Neubinski feel better about herself. The positive comment obviously does not come from a player due to the language used. No player is going to comment on the knowledge a coach has regarding the rule book. Additionally, what player would write that she "obviously plans practice before we're actually at practice" unless it was coming from someone who planned practices with her. Just some food for thought. It enrages me someone would come onto this website, pretend to be one of us, and write a positive review about her. This the ONLY place us players can discuss Liz Neubinski without repercussions (because those of us who did complain about her emotional abuse faced immense grudges and repercussions ALL season long). This is the type of stuff you face playing for Skidmore softball, having people dismiss YOUR OWN personal experiences with Neubinski after having to battle emotional abuse from her for MONTHS (years in my case!). Please do not play for this woman if you can avoid it. There are not enough synonyms in the dictionary to describe how horrid and nasty of a coach AND person she truly is."

"My team tried going to her about our emotionally abusive coach. While we were telling her what our coach has done, she sat there and defended all of it, saying we need to see things from our coach's perspective. For context, Gail defended our coach making us rank everyone on our team individually by characteristics (who was best on team/worst on team). Went to her about how Liz Neubinski's emotional abuse was affecting me mentally and she ignored everything and said she'll be back next season. If Gail wants to continue to defend Liz Neubinski and her emotinally abusive tactics running the mental health of so many young women, she should not be employed by the college. Skidmore Athletics claims to care for student athletes and their mental health, but Gail does the exact opposite."

"Coach Neubinski is the worst softball coach I have ever had. She is emotionally abusive and I have never felt worse about myself playing for her. She tears you down, especially if you are not one of her "favorites." She cannot have a mature conversation with you, even though she claims "her door is always open." When you call her out on her double standards, she will go into defense mode and find a way to blame you. Additionally, she has terrible softball knowledge and expects players to coach each other, creating a very tense environment. Coach Neubinski will pull you for fouling out after an at bat, but will leave in other players who have made countless mistakes and continue to do so (stems back to her blatant favoritism). She blames all the team problems on the players, when she constantly berates and stirs up drama between the players (the real problem is her and the environment she has created all by herself). Little context - she had all the players rate each other individually on personality traits as "best on the team" and "worst on the team" and then shared these results with each player. This woman genuinely needs mental help because she fosters a toxic and emotionally abusive environment and sees no issue with it, when she has been warned countless times about the harm she is causing to young women. Both seasons where she coached at Skidmore, season records were embarrassing; however, she saw no problem with this because she played her favorites all season. This is a warning, please do not play for this woman if you can avoid it, it is for your own good."

Accessible Cool Intense Direct Cares About Academics

"Lacey is truly like a mother to her players. Of course winning and being on a great team are important to most athletes, we all care about that. But when it comes to D3 sports it's important to have a coach who really cares about you because we have to focus on our majors and careers. She really helps facilitate that and encourages us off the field to explore internships, studying abroad, and other things that make us happy. I really love Lacey."
