The Inspiring Journey of Women in Sports

McDonald was traded across six teams in her first five years as a single parent, making it difficult to find, let alone afford, child care in new cities. She and her then-8-month-old son were often forced to share a hotel room with a teammate and sometimes she had no choice but to bring him with her to practice. (AP Photo/Francisco Seco, File)
