Writing a Book on Player Development

My first book will be released here in a couple of days! I am so excited to share the lessons I’ve learned with y’all and hopefully see generational impact spread around the world. In this blog I will talk about why I wrote the book, and what to expect from reading this book. Sitting here writing this blog, I am still amazed that all this is happening. Enjoy the blog.

#WomenInSports: Beginning in Player Development - Lauren Hawkins

I came into my player development internship role with very little experience and no true understanding of what player development was. As time in my role progressed, I realized that at the very core of player development was the ability to serve. Servant leadership has always been a staple in my leadership style but working in player development it has become something I rely on every single day. The player development department is crucial to the culture of a program. It is quite literally the heart of your program.

Why Generational Impact?

It has been my goal in life to impact others' lives. I don’t know what I can trace the beginnings of this passion to. Maybe it was my growing up in a big family. Maybe it was me constantly getting picked by teachers to help them. Maybe it was my grandmother’s prayers.
