Fred Warner's wife Sydney reflected back on experience being a part of 49ers women’s community
It has been more than seven years since Fred Warner's wife Sydney became part of the women's community of the 49ers. While she has long found her comfort space, during her initial years, she had dealt with her share of struggles.
In an interview with US Weekly, Sydney Warner explained how it was hard for her to find her “footing” in the community, but “all worked out” well for her. Reflecting back on how she struggled finding a place where she “felt comfortable being a wife”, Sydney said:
“I think it took me a while to find my niche and where I felt comfortable being a wife, now a mother, a girlfriend at the time. Now I’m Fred’s partner and we’re a duo. That’s an amazing thing to say. As a team, we work really well together. It’s just nice being able to be a teammate with him.”
Fred Warner never misses out on giving back to the community whenever possible. Last month, the linebacker hosted a “youth football camp,” which was a huge success. Warner’s initiative hadn’t just gotten him praise from fans but also from his wife Sydney.
