We continue our Recruit Reflection series with a perspective we haven’t heard before — the parent perspective! Erin Lang is the mother of Olivia Lang, an incoming freshman at the University of Maryland. Olivia was a Level 10 gymnast at CGA and is a four-time national qualifier. She visited five schools during her recruiting process — all within the Big Ten — and ultimately found her home at Maryland, where she committed in October 2023.

Erin joins us today to talk about navigating the recruiting process alongside her daughter and shares some valuable advice for athletes and their parents who are going through the journey.
