We couldn’t be more impressed with this coach! She is the best coach my daughter has ever had. She brings out the best in her players, builds their confidence, and creates an environment where they feel supported, challenged, and valued. She has helped my daughter grow not only as an athlete, but also in confidence and character. We are so thankful our daughter has had the opportunity to be coached by her! We are disappointed to see a review that contains so many statements that do not reflect our experience with Coach Grove and her staff. As parents, we understand that not every player or family will have the same experience, but presenting personal opinions and unverified allegations as fact is unfair and misleading. Some stated that the positive reviews here are “fabricated” or “propaganda”… this is just plainly not true! In my opinion Coach Grove has been actively trying to change team culture to rid it of the negativity! Some older players may not have liked this along with changes in playing time with larger incoming classes. I believe she is fair with playing time and gives everyone a chance to compete and earn a spot. I think that there were some players with a sense of entitlement and little accountability… and she is trying to change that culture! Playing at the D1 level nothing is owed to you and everything needs to be continually earned. I think this was lost on some. Our daughter’s experience with Coach Grove has been overwhelmingly positive. She has been supported, challenged, encouraged, and treated with respect. We have seen firsthand the time, effort, and dedication Coach Grove and her staff put into developing their players both as athletes and as young women. We also believe it is important to recognize that coaching decisions, playing time, team strategy, and player development can be viewed differently by different families. Disagreement with those decisions does not make the coaching staff uncaring, unqualified, or unethical. We believe that Coach Grove was working to create a more positive, supportive, and unified team culture. And the bad reviews on this site are because some people don’t like change. We simply wanted to provide another perspective because our daughter’s experience has been very different from what is described in other reviews here. We are grateful for Coach Grove and everything she has done for our daughter. In our experience, she is an exceptional coach, mentor, and role model, and we would confidently recommend her to other families.
