Sally RobertsSally Roberts, founder and executive director of the organization Wrestle Like A Girl which advocates for women's wrestling, will be a guest on the "Megyn Kelly TODAY" show on Friday, Jan. 12.
Here's how Roberts' organization describes itself on its official website: "Wrestle Like A Girl ("WLAG") was founded by Sally Roberts, a two-time world bronze medalist in women's wrestling on the premise that girls and women across the United States should be afforded opportunities to participate in wrestling. The WLAG organization works to promote female wrestling and cultivate the whole athlete in developmental process."
Over the weekend, Roberts had posted this message on Facebook: "Wrestle Like A Girl's Executive Director Sally Roberts will be on the Megyn Kelly's TODAY show January 12th, 2018. Tune in as Sally shares all things wrestling including: NCAA Emerging Sport Status, High School Sanctioning and empowering girls and women for leadership positions!"
When asked how Roberts came to be invited as a guest for "Megyn Kelly TODAY", she told InterMat, "They called me. Megyn Kelly has a series on 'Grit' that focuses on different ways girls and women are being afforded the opportunity to develop this."
"I was told when they did a google search for potential topics, and WLAG came up."
After an initial phone interview, Roberts said the producers asked to come to WLAG's Colorado Springs headquarters and videotape a wrestling camp, then bring the clinicians and some of the camp participants to the "Megyn Kelly TODAY" studio in New York City for the live broadcast Friday.
"Megyn Kelly TODAY" is the third hour of the long-running NBC TODAY morning news show, broadcast on most NBC affiliates at 9 a.m. Eastern. According to the show's official website, "Megyn Kelly TODAY brings more to your mornings with insightful stories, exclusive interviews and inspirational news."
