Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shows off his athletic prowess every time he takes the field. Now, it appears that his young daughter is also showing her abilities as an athlete.
While on the Rich Eisen Show this week, Patrick Mahomes spoke about his daughter Sterling, whom he has with wife Brittany, a former professional soccer player.
Mahomes said that his plan was to never force his children to be athletes or to play sports. He said that although they never taught her how to kick a soccer ball, she has seen others do so and just picked it up. The star quarterback also mentioned bringing her to Kansas City Current games, the NWSL league co-owned by his wife.

He believes Sterling picked up on it and can now dribble a soccer ball around. The quarterback said that it is really fun to watch her pick up that skill all on her own, especially at such a young age.
"Really cool to see that we didn't even really teach Sterling how to kick a soccer ball. She just kind of saw one and one of us started kicking it. So now, every time she sees one, she does that and kind of dribbles it and just from watching those those girls play. And so, it's definitely really cool to see me. I don't want to force her to be an athlete, but to see those tendencies early is definitely cool."
The quarterback has said in the past that he will support whichever sport his daughter and future children decide to play. He and his wife are expecting their second child, a son, sometime this fall.
