Meet Coach Lauren Vallee
Head Coach

“Success comes from focused, hard work. It comes from a stubborn determination to do whatever it takes to be your best. Just because you were not born with natural talent in endurance sport does not mean you cannot achieve the level of excellence you want. If you look at my career I was not a naturally talented triathlete. It took years of hard work, and to be fair a good bit of heartache, to get faster and stronger. ” ~ Coach Lauren
