When Camille Duvall retired from a 30-year water skiing career in 1994,  USA Today hailed her as "the best-known female water skier in history of  the sport." Sports Illustrated called her one of the "100 Greatest  Female Athletes of the Century," alongside the likes of Jackie  Joyner-Kersee and Nadia Comaneci.   While Duvall was an accomplished three-event athlete she didn't leave her passion at the water's edge. She founded and managed the  Professional Water Ski Tour (PAWS) in 1990. In 1998, Duvall-Hero was named coach of the U.S. Junior Water Ski Team - the first woman to ever serve in that position. She also served as a board member of the Women's  Sports Foundation, the New York City Sports Commission, the American  Sports Medicine Institute, and Big Brothers and Sisters of America.   Over the years, she has worked as a professional athlete, water ski  instructor, industry consultant, businesswoman, model, and mother to her two children, Alexander and Gabrielle. Her star quality and fierce determination not only captivated the media it also landed her a job as a  reporter and producer for ESPN, Fox Sports, MSG Network, Oxygen Sports,  and Lifetime TV, where she covered the X-Games, the WNBA, and NHL as a  sideline reporter. A graduate of the New York University School of  Broadcasting, Duvall has served as editor of Competitor for Women  magazine and contributing editor of Conde Nast Women's Sports &  Fitness Magazine.
