Plenty of women are soccer moms, but few carry it to the extremes of Carla Overbeck. Overbeck is a mom, a women's soccer coach at Duke University, pioneer of the Women's United Soccer Association and captain of the newly created Carolina Courage. She was also captain of the women's 1999 U.S. World Soccer Team and played on the U.S. Women's gold medal soccer team in the 2000 Olympics.
Soccer is such a great sport.
It's not just a game for kids, the whole family can play. It teaches more than a game, it teaches life lessons. I love that everybody can play soccer. It's such a healthy atmosphere. Overbeck and her husband, Greg, who is part owner of three restaurants, share parenting and household duties.
