I watched Lauren grow up on the lax field, serving as her k-2 coach, ULA summer official, and 7th grade coach. She has invested a lot of time and energy into fitness and lacrosse, and it shows. Lauren has great agility, speed, and field sense. She knows how to get open, and she can also weave her way through a strong defense. Her stick skills are highly developed, whether scoring, catching, throwing, or scooping up ground balls. She is tenacious and persistent, with a strong drive to win. Lauren is very coachable, always giving 110%, not only in games, but in practices. She has a strong work ethic and and is a wonderful role model for her teammates. Lauren displays many leadership skills besides her work ethic. She is kind and caring, helpful, and considerate to all involved. She displays good sportsmanship at all times. She is always the first to volunteer for team tasks and shares her enthusiasm for the game freely. Lauren was recommended by me to play up at the high school level in 8th grade. I whole- heartedly endorse Lauren. She is the complete package, and would be an asset to any team.
