In 2001, then 33-year-old Fawcett was the only mother of three to be playing in the highest level of any sport. Despite her age and having to raise three young girls, Fawcett had no desire to slow down her soccer career.
Balancing her soccer career with motherhood was a piece of cake by the time she was in her third pregnancy. “This one was actually a little easier. I trained harder. I was sprinting into my seventh month and I used a StairMaster. I was using weights up until I had the baby,” Fawcett told The New York Times.
