Baranczyk said Jordi is a typical third grader who enjoys doing a variety of sports and activities.

She said she feels lucky that Jordi and her siblings are getting an up-close view of the college athletes she coaches, saying, \"I love that they get to see these incredibly strong women work really hard and live out their dreams and fall down and get up and keep going and have passion in what they do.\"

Baranczyk said she also feels \"proud\" that Jordi is so invested in the Sooners women's team.

\"As a mom and as a coach, I miss out on a lot of things,\" she said. \"So I'm proud that she feels really a part of it, because I don't necessarily get the time that every other mom might get with their kids. So I love that we're in this together.\"
