I am sure we will have a lot of work to do in order to build up the team. Our first goal is to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games.

Lang, whose 12-year-old daughter Lydia, lives in Tustin, California, with her father, will also be able to be closer to her daughter. "I have responsibility to help her and watch her grow up. It's a great thing for me to be able to do both," she added.
