Barrier Breakers - S1E2 - Lauren Goffinet

Join Kentucky Wesleyan College Disabilities Services and Title IX Coordinator, Lori Thurman as she sits down with 2013 KWC graduate, Lauren Goffinet.  We will talk about her time as a student athlete at Kentucky Wesleyan.  On the court, she was a force—Second Team All-GLVC, the team’s leading scorer with 11.8 points per game, top three-point shooter, and the player who logged more minutes than anyone else. From a 23-point performance in the NCAA Midwest Regional to a career-high 11 rebounds at Quincy, Lauren delivered again and again. She led the team in double-figure scoring games, steals, blocks, rebounds—truly an all-around competitor. We’ll also dive into some deeper issues: equity in women’s sports, her experiences as a female athlete, her coaching journey, and the advice she offers to the young women she mentors. And with two beautiful daughters of her own, we’ll ask what she hopes the world looks like by the time they become young women.
