Kara Lang

RedNation and Kara discuss the upcoming Women’s World Cup that will be held in Canada, her thoughts on how coaches can get the most out of their players and her upcoming participation as a speaker at the 2015 National Soccer Coaching Conference.



Kara Lang is a former Canadian women’s national team member, who has represented her country at two FIFA Women’s World Cups and the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. She is the youngest person to be capped by the Canadian women’s national team, debuting for the team at the age of 15 at the Algarve Cup in Portugal. She was also a member of both the 2010 CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup and 2010 Cyprus Women’s Cup winning teams with the national program. Lang served as a member of the Vancouver Whitecaps, competing in the W-League, and prior to that, spent three seasons with the UCLA Bruins in NCAA Division I, where she was ranked as the No. 1 recruit of her recruiting class and was named a preseason all-American as a freshman.



Following her playing career, Lang transitioned into the broadcast booth as a television sports analyst for Rogers Sportsnet, covering the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup and making several appearances on the Soccer Central nightly show. Coming off the 2012 London Olympics as a member of CTV’s broadcast team, she now works for TSN as a sideline reporter for their MLS broadcasts and will be an analyst for next summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.
