Kara Lang adjusting to life after soccer
(John F. Molinaro, Sportsnet.ca) - You can take the player out of the game, but you can't take the game out of the player. On Jan. 5, 2011, Kara Lang, an eight-year veteran of the Canadian women's soccer team, announced her retirement, citing persistent knee problems as the reason for her calling it quits. Lang was only 24 when she walked away from the sport she loved, a cruel and premature end to a career spent in loyal service to her country on the field. Born in Calgary, Lang made her debut for Canada as a 15-year-old in a match against Scotland on Mar. 1, 2002. She quickly became a mainstay with the national team, scoring 34 goals in 92 appearances, and helped Canada reach the semifinals of the 2003 Women's World Cup in the United States when she scored two goals in six games. >>> |
