“Throughout my senior season I asked Lauren for one-on-one help outside of practice. She not only taught me new skills, but also taught me how to use my strengths to my advantage and capitalize on my opportunities during games. One week she taught me how to work down the endline and get a shot off on goal, and I actually scored with the same move later that week! She is an all around great coach and one of the nicest people I have met through the sport of field hockey.” {NANCY BANSBACH, University of Rochester ‘19, All- American}
“Lauren’s knowledge of the game is immense. As a prolific attacker at one of the top Division I programs in the country, Lauren has the high-level knowledge necessary to demonstrate and break down and teach all of the skills necessary to play at the collegiate level. Lauren’s enthusiasm and passion for field hockey is evident in all of her work as a coach, and since joining the University of Rochester staff, Lauren has been instrumental in elevating the skills of our team members. Upstate Elite will provide Lauren with an opportunity to help our local athletes attain a higher level of skill and a greater love of the game.” {WENDY ANDREATTA, University of Rochester Head Field Hockey Coach}
