Although Patrick Mahomes is an NFL superstar, his daughter Sterling Skye might have a different sporting career ahead of her. Despite being just two years old, she is showing signs of following in her mother’s footsteps.
Brittany, Patrick’s wife and mother to Sterling, played soccer in her university days, and it seems as though Sterling could go on to play the beautiful game as well. Already, Sterling is showing signs of having an interest in soccer.
“I didn’t even have to prepare her, Patrick told E! News.
“We never had taught her to play soccer, but she had watched soccer games with us just from going to the Kansas City Current games, and she literally started just kicking soccer balls into the goal.
“We never taught her how to kick, never taught her how to play, that’s just who she is.”
It remains to be seen if this athletic prowess runs through both of the Mahomes children, with it difficult to gauge the potential of a seven-month-old like Bronze Mahomes, yet Patrick still commented on his athletic development.
“We’re getting there,” he joked.
“I mean, he’s still at the age we’re trying to get him to crawl, so, we’re seeing where he’s at.
“I think the biggest thing is just them following their dreams.”
Mahomes hopes for sporting success for his children
Whilst clear he would be supportive of his children whatever they do, Patrick Mahomes couldn’t hide his joy at the possibility of both his children following in the footsteps of their mother and father.
“Obviously, I want them to play sports,” he added.
“Me and Brittany both played sports growing up.
“I think there’s lots of values that you can learn from playing sports of all kinds.”
