MEET LAUREN CHAMBERLAIN GIPSON
Lauren Chamberlain Gipson has spent her career pushing the boundaries of what is possible for women in sports — first as one of the most accomplished power hitters in college softball history, and now as a leader, entrepreneur, ambassador, speaker, and advocate for the next generation of athletes.
A University of Oklahoma National Champion and four-time All-American, Lauren finished her collegiate career with 95 home runs, breaking the NCAA career home run record and becoming one of the most recognizable athletes in the sport. She went on to play professionally for the USSSA Pride, winning a Cowles Cup Championship, and has continued to use the platform built through her playing career to create opportunities far beyond the field.
Today, Lauren works at the intersection of sports, business, brand, and athlete development. She serves as an ambassador for Major League Baseball, using her platform to help grow softball, expand access to the game, and connect with young athletes across the country. Her work has also extended into athlete branding and NIL, where she has helped athletes and organizations better understand the power of identity, storytelling, and personal brand.
Lauren previously served as Commissioner of Women’s Professional Fastpitch, helping lead the development of a new professional softball league and its expansion into markets including Oklahoma City and Austin. Her leadership experience spans professional sports, sports management, NIL, nonprofit and community partnerships, live events, athlete development, and brand strategy.
Through Lauren Chamberlain, LLC, she brings those experiences together through speaking, partnerships, appearances, athlete development, and 44 — Home of the Game Ready Swing™.
At the center of it all is a philosophy that has remained consistent throughout every chapter of her career:
Learn. Share. Empower.
Lauren believes the greatest value of experience is what you choose to do with it — and she continues to build opportunities that allow her to share what she has learned, empower others, and leave the game better than she found it.
