Lauren on the USA Volleyball Show

  • On coping during the COVID-19 pandemic"I have found that spending time with my family, doing virtual meetups with friends, and having fun ‘challenges’ among friends or my team has been great. It helps keep everyone connected, active and looking forward to what’s next. Keep honing your skills, find other hobbies that bring you joy and happiness, and try not to let one bad day turn into another. Keep getting after it!”
