This week on After the Athlete, we’re joined by Sarah Lauren — a former Division II volleyball player who went from walk-on to earning a full-ride scholarship at Northwest Missouri State University. After graduation, Sarah faced the tough reality of life without sports, but found her way back through coaching, earning her Master’s in Sport and Performance Psychology, and ultimately launching her own consulting practice, now called EmpowerHER.
In this conversation, Sarah opens up about betting on yourself, building a business from the ground up, and how her experiences as an athlete shape the way she now supports both current and former athletes. We also dive into her transition from player to coach, her passion for helping athletes strengthen their mental game, and a lot more. Enjoy!
