Sterling Skye Mahomes, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is poised to become the next athlete in the family. Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Matthews, took Sterling to the soccer field to show off some moves.
The Instagram page of Kansas City Current, a women's soccer team, shared pictures of Matthews and her daughter on the field with the following caption:
"Start 'em young."
Matthews played soccer for the University of Texas at Tyler. She then signed a professional deal with Icelandic team UMF Afturelding/Fram the same year that her future husband signed his rookie contract with the Chiefs.
Matthews spent some time playing professionally after graduating from the University of Texas at Tyler with a degree in kinesiology. Matthews said at the time that she never saw herself playing soccer in college.
“I didn't even see myself playing college soccer when I graduated high school," Matthews said. "However, I ended up coming to UT Tyler to play soccer because it was close to home and I knew a few girls that played here that loved it and told me I need to join the family."
"So I did, and these last four years have made me fall in love with soccer all over again and want to go on and play professional soccer.”
She added:
"Every coach I have had at UT Tyler made a huge impact on my love for this game and my decision to play professional soccer. An opportunity opened up for me in Iceland and I could never pass up such an amazing experience to go do what I love."
As such, seeing Sterling Skye on a soccer field comes as no surprise.
Sterling Mahomes is part of a sporting family
Sterling’s grandfather, pitcher Pat Mahomes Sr., played 11 seasons in Major League Baseball with six different teams.
Her father, Patrick, is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He won the MVP award in 2018 after throwing for over 5,000 yards. He led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl win the following season.
Heading into his sixth season in the NFL, the Kansas City quarterback will be hoping to lead his team to another Super Bowl appearance.
