Olympians do not usually hand you a blade. This night, they will. Summit Members get an up-close look at fencing from Olympian fencers from Team USA, then pick up a foil themselves with instruction from USA Fencing.
This is a rare chance to see a world-class sport up close and try it yourself. Fencing is one of the most internationally and ethnically diverse sports in the American Olympic and Paralympic movement, and one where you can be small, left-handed or late to the game and still be world class. The evening also asks who gets selected and who gets overlooked, in a fireside chat moderated by Dr. Lisa Orbe-Austin, psychologist and executive coach.
