Brittany Mahomes is widely known as the wife of NFL star Patrick Mahomes and mother of their two children. But not much is mentioned about her promising soccer career that was cut short.
Well before being a personal trainer and IG personality, Brittany Mahomes was a record-breaker at the women’s soccer program at the University of Texas at Tyler. In the last of her four seasons with the program, she set a single-season record with 18 goals.
