Recorded this episode earlier this year so there have been updates and new accomplishments for this guest. Be sure to catch her social media to follow her @laurensears10p -- Meet this professional athlete in the world of jiujitsu and peek into her world of competing and her profession in physical therapy. Lauren Sears is a pleasure to get to know. Helping people is where Lauren knew she’d land as a corner stone in her life. She likes her athletics and she enjoys people in all aspects of life. She says she found her niche in pursuing her career as she had to recover her own body to fix her drive to compete. "Finding your community within the sport is what keeps you coming and finding that component is what keeps you going…it feels like family." Lauren has faced difficult situations and found herself both on and off the mat. She’s been working on what she does pre-competition and she’s discovered how she replenishes her energy levels. Lauren likes self expression and she talks about 10th Planet as a place where there is room for individuality. We discuss being a woman in this sport and her perception of how she gets her voice heard and what her coaching style is—the fundamental principles and concepts. She’s got years left in the sport and so she pushes to get as far up in the sport as she can.There is balance as Lauren works in physical therapy for her career and she has goals to get her deeper in that professional world, but for now she focuses on her jiujitsu competition and creates a schedule to give her the most preparation.
