Bio

Lauren Sisler is a two-time Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster who joined ESPN and SEC
Network in 2016 as a sideline reporter for both college football and gymnastics.

As a sportscaster and former collegiate gymnast, Lauren is passionate about sports, but even
more passionate about telling the stories of the coaches, athletes, and fans who make it more
than a game.

As an 18-year-old at Rutgers University, Lauren Sisler’s reality was shattered when – within
hours of each other – she lost both parents to their concealed battle with prescription drug
addiction. In the weeks and months to follow, Lauren was catapulted into a new, painful reality,
one in which the picture-perfect life as she knew it was overshadowed by grief and
shame. Despite unfathomable adversity, she pursued her passions and rose in the ranks in the
uber-competitive field of sports broadcasting. Lauren is now a two-time national and regional
Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster with ESPN and SEC Network.
