"If she was a good coach her record would show. Creates a poor team culture. Picks favorites and it is not based on performance."

"She is brutally honest but it’s for the better of the team"

"When I got recruited, Ghilardi seemed like a kind and respectful person, but I soon learned that was a facade that has tricked many other athletes during their recruiting. Ghilardi loves playing favorites, giving specific people all her attention and support until one day, they get dropped completely and passed on for the next person. Her favor not only determines playing time and starting positions, but also how you are treated amongst the coaches. No one, not even captains, are secure in their position on the team. You can go from being a starter to being placed so deep in the bench you won’t play until next year without a word. I can’t remember an individual meeting day where I didn’t need to console 3-5 people after because they were devastated and insulted by what they were told. Countless of her players have lost their love of the sport by the time they graduated. If she was simply rude and condescending to her players that would be one thing, but she has also been terrible to her own assistant coach in front of her players. Her open criticism and lack of support caused younger players to join her in the maltreatment of the assistant. All of her faults could at least be justified if she was a decent coach at the end of the day, but alas her record speaks for itself. Countless poor game time decisions and psychological mind games causes her teams to implode game after game. I wouldn’t recommend this team to anyone for the sole fact that I wouldn’t want anyone to have to experience this toxic environment."

"Great coach, even better person. Cares about her players as people first. Committed to helping her players succeed off the field, on the field and in life. An amazing role model."

"Elizabeth was instrumental to my success at Skidmore. Not only did she bring in awesome people who ended up being my best friends, she also set us up to do the best we could on and off the field. She is a direct and honest communicator and that was extremely valuable to me and helped shaped me and prepared me for the real world. We consistently had fun as a team and I will forever look back on all our traditions, spring break trips, and locker room memories. I cannot say enough good things about Elizabeth and the Skidmore women’s lacrosse team and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great coach, competitive atmosphere, and even better people. "

"I have been playing sports all of my life. I have been on many different teams, clubs, and have had many different experiences, but there is no doubt that Coach Ghilardi is the worst of the worst. She is disrespectful, dishonest, and overall a bully. She gets players to trust her at first so that they tell her personal things, but she will end up holding those things against them and also tell them to other teammates. She has extremely poor communication skills and expects everyone to know what she is thinking. She is extremely rude and loves to hold players against each other to create divides between teammates, but also says that she strives for the best team culture. I don’t know how she is still around and it breaks my heart still seeing players so drained and sad, all because of Coach Ghilardi"

"Some coaches aren't people you necessarily like, but you respect them because they're excellent coaches who consistently produce winning results. Other coaches may not have the best record, but you still want to play for them because they genuinely care about you as a person, not just as an athlete, and they're enjoyable to be around. Coach Neubinski had neither of those qualities. I didn't feel supported as a person, and I also didn't have confidence in her coaching or the direction of the program. That combination made it a difficult environment to be part of."

"Ghilardi uses manipulation and abusive tactics in order to control her players. If she was a good coach-maybe some of the mind games would be acceptable. However, frequent over working players, leading to extensive injuries, and poor game day decisions leads to bad season after bad season. Her favorite way to control players is to pit them against each other and often attempts to isolate players through bad mouthing friends and family members. This dynamic frequently leads to a coach vs the entire team ideology across the skidmore womens lacrosse seasons. "

"If you're looking for a program where you can slowly lose every ounce of joy you once had for softball, constantly second guess yourself, and wonder why you ever picked up a glove in the first place... then this is the place for you! Love the thrill of showing up to practice knowing that one mistake might earn you the silent treatment for the next few weeks? Dream of an environment where confidence is replaced with anxiety and every day feels like an emotional obstacle course? Then playing for Coach Neubinski might just be your perfect fit! Who needs constructive feedback, healthy communication, or a coach who builds athletes up when you can have mind games, confusion, and the daily challenge of wondering where you stand? Playing for Neubinski is a 10/10 experience if your goal is to turn the sport you've loved your whole life into something you dread."
