Sterling Mahomes is a regular at Arrowhead Stadium, where she sees her dad, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, work. She attends Chiefs home games, away games, Super Bowls, practices and parades. But on a sunny day in Kansas City recently, the 5-year-old got to see her mother, Brittany Mahomes, in her element.
Brittany, the New Fans Correspondent for Everything But the Score, Yahoo's World Cup project, was at CPKC Stadium, home of the women's professional team she co-owns, the Kansas City Current. She was there for a video shoot designed to introduce newcomers not just to the game of soccer, but also to the players, personalities and culture surrounding it.
For someone who has spent much of her life around the sport, it's a natural fit. She speaks about soccer with the ease of someone who has a deep love and knowledge of the game, following a successful career as a college and — yes — professional player.
While Brittany casually dropped soccer knowledge, Sterling pushed a doll named Rosie around in a toy stroller, chatted about life as a big sister to younger siblings Bronze and Golden and occasionally wandered over to see what her mom was working on. "She wanted to be a part of mommy's work and see what I do," Brittany tells me.
It's a small moment, but one that seems to capture where Brittany is in life right now: still chasing ambitious goals, but increasingly aware of who's watching from the sidelines.
