What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

She loves the intensity of it all. The loud crowds, the adrenaline pumping through her right before first serve. She’s a competitive athlete who is there to win.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

All of her coaches inspire her. They motivate her to be the best person she can be off the court and to work hard on the court. She looks up to these adults for guidance and wisdom as she navigates life’s challenges, not just her journey in sports.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Lauren has been cut from multiple teams throughout her life. She has also faced challenges on the teams she did make, but she never gave up. Instead, she continued to work hard, compete, and persevere through every obstacle she encountered. This is what made me the proudest because it demonstrated her resilience, determination, and commitment to becoming the best athlete she could be.
