When asked to describe her coaching style she says, "I am old school, but I will bend over backwards for your child. I will teach your child the importance of good sportsmanship and respect- even when losing. I teach “we over me” and encourage players to be selfless and supportive of teammates in all situations."

Lauren has previously coached at Aspire. She is a Dobson graduate where she played DS/Libero. 

Lauren is married & is mom to two wonderful kiddos (Max and recently, Maddie). She is part owner of a cookie business, 2 Smart Cookies and working on her nursing degree.
