US Women's Soccer Player Sydney LeRoux Pregnant at Practice
This Badass Soccer Star Didn’t Expect to Be Practicing at 6 Months Pregnant, but “Here We Are”
Olympic gold medalist and soccer star, Sydney LeRoux, is taking the phrase "super mom" to a whole new new level. The Orlando Pride forward is starting preseason training while six months pregnant. LeRoux shared a few photos of herself participating in practice — and looking like she was totally crushing it — on Twitter.
LeRoux's résumé is nothing short of remarkable. At 22, she won gold as the youngest member of the U.S. Women's National Team at the London 2012 Summer Olympics. Just three years later, she helped lead the U.S. team to its third FIFA Women's World Cup Championship. She sat out of the 2016 regular season and the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics after becoming pregnant with her first child, Cassius, and missed part of the 2018 season after suffering a miscarriage. In October, she shared a powerful message with her fans and followers about her own experience and pregnancy loss in general.
