About Episode

Corey Lawson is an amazing example of a coach who values growing the person even more than developing the athlete within. No matter the sport he is coaching he is most proud of the men and women his athletes become “off the field”. It’s not often that the coaches or mentors get the spotlight for all the work they do. They do it because they love to empower and develop people. We get the honor of having this incredible coach on the show to spotlight his talents and gifts. Corey Lawson spent a few years coaching Brittany and her teammates at Franklin Pierce University as the Head Women’s Rugby Coach. It was during those years Brittany got to experience Corey’s passion for the sport and commitment to the success of the women off the field. As a coach and teacher he is using his influence for good in his community. Following in his father’s footsteps of being an exceptional leader in the community; Corey is making his mark.
