'I have something a little bit more to play for, and that's my kid.' Jessica McDonald talks about being the only mom on the U.S. soccer team:
Amid the rowdy celebrations on the pitch in France after the U.S. won the World Cup, a player kneeled so her young son could sprinkle a handful of confetti over her head."I know all the girls, we all have something to play for, we all have this goal and we're all on the same page as to what we want at the end of the day," McDonald told ABC News."But as for me, I have something a little bit more to play for, and that's my kid.
During the offseason, McDonald worked 9-to-5 jobs, coached and ran camps, and sometimes packed boxes at Amazon 11 hours a day"just to make ends meet." But it's on days when the system gets disrupted -- if, say, practice gets moved because of weather -- that it gets"tough," especially without child care support.
Being around this group of women -- and hearing Megan Rapinoe's speech at the ticker tape parade -- will impact him, she said. Witnessing it at a pivotal age means"it will hit him one day. Because he doesn't understand right now. But one day, he will."
