Lindsey Vonn's Virtual Career Day with Ballet Dancer Misty Copeland

Every week to during quarantine Olympic Skier Lindsey Vonn is excited to host her Virtual Career Day. Each week Lindsey will bring together a young Lindsey Vonn Foundation scholarship winner and an expert in the field they want to grow up to work in. During these challenging times, Lindsey wants to remind young kids that there is still something to look forward to and nothing should stop anyone from achieving their goals.

This week's scholar wants to grow up to be a dancer, so we brought in American Ballet Theater Principal Dancer Misty Copeland to give her advice, stories, and encouragement. Misty has been a pioneer in the world of dance, becoming the first-ever African American woman to be named a principal dancer in ABT history. Misty also is an accomplished author, her children's picture book, Firebird, focuses on empowerment for young people of color, While her book Ballerina Body, focuses on health and fitness.
