Lauren Ollanik is the Head Varsity Volleyball Coach at Fairview High School

Coach Lauren has been coaching volleyball at the high school and club level for over 10 years. As a former high school and college volleyball player, Lauren is passionate about sharing her love of the game. After graduating college as a student athlete, she moved from Boston to New Orleans where she coached at the Varsity level at a local high school where she helped lead the team to a top 8 ranking in the state. Lauren enjoyed founding a new volleyball club and being the first coach in that organization. Lauren eventually returned to Boulder to be head coach at Fairview, her alma mater. As a coach, Lauren values players getting the most quality reps possible to improve skills. She spends time breaking down the skill to the most basic level and then building upon those skills to refine and perfect them. Lauren prioritizes and instils values of focus, teamwork, decision making, and implementation of skills under pressure. This is accomplished by introducing a skill, reinforcing the skill through countless reps, and then implementing the skill into game-like drills. Lauren looks forward to working with each athlete individually at camp to help build skills and confidence on the court. Seeing the progress athletes make from day one of camp to day four of camp is one of Lauren's favorite parts of Nike Camps.
