Lauren Cook Q&A

Nickname: LoLo 

Best thing about being a Husker: All of the tradition we have here. It's an honor to wear Nebraska on the front of my jersey. Also, because of the great support we have, it truly is amazing to see how many little girls look up to you.

How you get focused right before a game: 
Visualize myself playing in the game while listening to music...visualization works!

Major:
Hospitality, Restaurant, and Tourism Management with an emphasis in Event Planning

Plans for life after sports:
I want to work with a sports team and plan events for them in addition to weddings or other types of parties on the side.

Who you admire most: 
My mother and father.

Top song on your music player: 
Right now it is "We found Love" by Rihanna, but it changes weekly.

Favorite Nebraska classic food:
 Red hot dogs!

Favorite Cornhusker tradition:
The tunnel walk at football games. It gives me chills every time I watch it.

Hidden talent:
I am very good at giving massages.

Why you chose to play for Nebraska:
There truly is no place like Nebraska. I didn't realize how special it was until I went away and experienced what another school had to offer. It wasn't even comparable.

Favorite quotes:

     "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:31
     "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." -Muhammad Ali
