Erika Lang's visit to the Women's Sports Foundation

The Women's Sports Foundation is an amazing foundation that promotes women in sports and pushes for the equal opportunity of women in sports. Yearly, they host a red carpet event that is held in New York City. My experience at the event was extremely inspiring, and it left me wanting to do more in promoting women in sports. Through my waterskiing accomplishments, my ability to encourage young girls to get active and out on the water is very possible. I hope to inspire young girls to become more active in whatever sport they desire to do. However, hopefully, they pick waterskiing!

 While I was at the Women's Sports Foundation, I was not only inspired by the message that the foundation so strongly believes in but also by the other athletes there. I had the chance to meet some of the most famous athletes in women's sports today that have always been my inspiration. I had the honor to meet Nastia Liukin, Missy Franklin, Billie Jean King, Sarah Hughes, Michelle Kwan, Dianna Nyad, Laila Ali, and Venus Williams. Being invited to this prestigious event has opened so many doors for me and for the sport of waterskiing. I was able to promote not only myself and my accomplishments, but also to promote the sport of waterskiing and to show the world just how awesome our sport is!
