Hello, my name is Laney Forsmann. I am a graduate student in the Athletic Administration program at ISU and I am also a graduate assistant for the Human Performance and Sport Studies Department as well. Before this, I completed my bachelors degree in Sport Management and while doing that I have been able to work with and coach with a lot of different athletes, coaches and administrators of our community. This year I am working on the National Girls and Women In Sports Day events at ISU this year to spotlight a few of those women who helped me along the way!
