Laurie Lopes, the founder of TripleForce Athletics, attributes much of her success in life to athletics. She grew up playing sports, and went on to join the Dartmouth College Class of ’87 as a two-sport athlete, where she was an All-Ivy sprinter and member of the 1985-86 Ivy League Championship basketball team. 


After graduating, Laurie received a fellowship from the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, and earned her MBA from Indiana University.  Unable to stay away from collegiate athletics, she returned to Dartmouth College as an assistant basketball coach in 1993, where she helped lead the Big Green to four Ivy Championships and three NCAA tournament appearances. Her perspective as an athlete, coach, and businesswoman provides the inspiration behind TripleForce Athletics.


TripleForce is a brand developed for women by women. All products are designed specifically for women, and embody the principles upon which the company was founded: I am a woman. I am an athlete. I can play. TripleForce recognizes the important role that athletics play in a girl's development, self-confidence and leadership ability, and looks to inspire girls and women in their athletic pursuits. 


After all, there is an athlete in all of us.
