Lauren Solecki

Lauren holds a Bachelors in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, a Masters in Strength and Conditioning from Liverpool John Moores University, and is a NSCA-Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.

Lauren began coaching at a young age, and found her calling in the strength and conditioning space while working as a lead strength and conditioning coach at Zeal Performance. While completing her Masters, she had the opportunity to work with the professional men’s rugby league team. Throughout her previous experiences before starting at Orka, she has had the opportunity to found and create initiatives and programs to get women in sport, work with current, former, and future professional and national level players in a variety of sports (hockey, rugby union, rugby league, volleyball, rowing, soccer, football), and develop many youth athletes.

Lauren has a strong interest in developing both physical and mental resilience in the athletes she works with, and strives to provide an atmosphere that drives performance, community, and excellence both in and out of sport. In her spare time, you can find Lauren spending time with her family when they’re in town (or if she can get over to the ranch), playing rugby over the summer, and generally getting outdoors with the ones she loves whenever she can.
