Quotes I have always found strength through my son, despite my busy schedule I celebrate being a mother and a professional player because it's not easy balancing in between. A typical day in my life is when I came back from maternity leave, balancing wasn't a walk in the park because every time I was thinking about my son when I left behind if he was okay or not and I ended up not full concentration in training, traveling days was my worst knowing that am going to leave my son behind for a while that, I use to call back every time but I’m grateful I picked up and got support from his dad I do train age-grade kids, anytime I go for training I usually go with my son and he joins the under 9 years category, and when I have club games I normally go with him as he watches. To those mothers in sports, I would say it's never easy raising a family while in sports but never give up doing what you love because you are a mother, let your kids be the motivation towards your goals Celebrating Kenya Lionesses Captain Judith Auma: Balancing Rugby and Motherhood, Citizens Digital, citizen reporter, May 12, 2024 External links Category:Rugby union players from Kenya Category:Women in sports Category:1998 births Category:Women from Kenya Category:Women born in the 1990s Category:Living people
