Olympian hosts soccer camp

ASHWAUBENON - Olympic bronze medalist Lauren Sesselmann hosted a special youth soccer camp for those wanting to improve their skills.

The camp was held at Synergy Fields in Ashwaubenon.

Boys and girls met up with Sesselmann to learn some new moves and hear about her experience as a professional athlete.

Sesselmann plays for Team Canada, but grew up in Green Bay.

She said she loves being able to come back and share her journey with local kids.

"I never really got to meet a professional athlete, and I think that's why it's so important to come back and to be able to talk to the kids about my journey, because I know a lot of them in this area have reached out to me and said 'I want to be like you, how do I do that?'"

Sesselman took time to sign autographs for the children.

She also let them hold her the medal she won in London this past summer.
