Brittany Mahomes is not just the wife of NFL superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

She's also a certified personal trainer, entrepreneur, and former collegiate soccer player. During a Q&A session held on her Instagram stories, Brittany was asked by a fan why she didn't continue her soccer career.

She responded by stating that she was ready to turn to the next chapter of her life with the Chiefs quarterback:

"I was ready to move and start my life with Patrick in one place."

Mahomes attended The University of Texas at Tyler, playing for four years with the Patriots. She was one of the best players in the school's history, finishing with 78 career points, the second most in school history. Her 31 goals are also the second most in school history. In all, Brittany Mahomes had 111 shots on goal and 10 game-winning goals.

In her senior season, she was named to the 2016 NSCAA All-West Region team. Brittany also helped the program make the ASC (American Southwest Conference) Championship game in three out of her four seasons. She was a major part of the school getting a berth in the NCAA Division III Championship.

She signed with the Icelandic soccer team UMF Afturelding/Fram following her time in college. However, she was there for just one season before choosing to return to America. While in Iceland, Mahomes won a championship trophy.
