It should come as no surprise that Hamm’s children have become athletes just like their parents. As a former professional soccer player, many wonder if Hamm would coach her children’s teams but she says she prefers to watch for now.

“They’re very active with gymnastics and softball and just being six-year-olds at the playground or in the backyard. I initially said I wouldn’t want to coach my child’s team, but now I do understand why parents do take that role. Yes, I would do it but for the time being, I’m happy cheering from the bleachers,” Hamm told Celebrity Baby Scoop in 2013.

Even if a sport has been their entire life, many female athletes admit to wanting to become a mom at some point.
