Jessica McDonald, the only mom on the US soccer team, just hopes her son remembers this

Posted Jul 17, 2019
As the confetti swirled around her, Jessica McDonald closed her eyes and smiled. "I have something more to play for, and that's my kid." McDonald is the only mother on the cup-winning U.S. women's national team, and one of seven mothers in the National Women's Soccer League. Celebrating the World Cup win with her son Jeremiah, 7, almost didn't happen. (Good Morning America)
