Parker says that she’s conscious of how she acts professionally because her daughter learns by her example. One time Lailaa noticed her mother cry after a losing a game.
Parker tells The Undefeated, “I think a lot of people come from the generation of do as I say and not as I do. But everything I do my daughter is watching… We’d lost a big game… and a couple of months later she was playing soccer and she cried because she lost, and I said, ‘We don’t cry when we lose.’ And she said, ‘But you did.’ It’s like every single day she’s watching what I’m doing.”
Many female athletes don’t plan on getting pregnant mid-career but say that it comes as a blessing in disguise.
