Posted Aug 2, 2021
These days, Jessica McDonald is the veteran mom among National Women's Soccer League and USWNT players. Though she no longer is a member of the national squad, the 33-year-old forward still plays for the North Carolina Courage. Her son, Jeremiah, has taken on the role of the "NWSL kid leader" since he's the oldest child of a current player.
