My last English class prompt for the year was to write about a belief you hold strongly. I have lived and breathed club soccer my entire adolescent life, and I’m incredibly grateful for all that soccer has given me. However, I decided to leave club soccer a couple months ago. I’ve learned that leaving doesn’t mean that you’ve failed, only that you’ve grown. Hopefully this will reach another person struggling with the thought of being labeled as a “quitter” or “too weak”. Hopefully they can find peace in knowing that they’re not alone in their fears, and that a single activity or label doesn’t define them as a person.
“Coach Lauren, we have a new name for ourselves. We are the Triple Espresso!”
There is so much power in having strong female role models. These U9 ballers have a love for the game and a huge admiration for the players paving the way for them to one day follow their dreams too.
Our sincerest thanks to @ECNLgirls and the 80+ scouts that came out to our games in Seattle!! We appreciate you taking time to see our 2025 and 2026 players. Enjoy the rest of your summer and we will see you at ECNL Phoenix in November! @imyouthsoccer@dksc_official
These showcases are a lot. A lot of soccer, a lot of downtime, a lot of pressure - a lot of a lot. So proud of @IsaSoccer8 who is a determined soccer player that lives the student in “student-athlete.” You’re an example of both goodness and grit. #infinityandbeyond@07gDksc
Great week w/@07gDksc where we finished the regular season with 3 straight wins! So grateful to everyone at @DKSC_official club for welcoming me with open arms this year. Can’t wait for the @ECNLgirls showcase in NC at the end of the month.
I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to play D1 soccer and continue my academic career at the University of the Incarnate Word!! Go Cardinals!! ❤️🤍
Had an incredible time at the MIT Sloan Analytics Conference in Boston. Great panel presentations on advanced analytics in soccer, utilizing AI to “supercharge your strategic advantage”, the business of sports negotiations, and many more! Hope to come back next year! #SSAC24
