At the beginning of last year, Gunta Baško, a former basketball player and general manager of the Latvian women’s basketball state unit, became her mother. She gave birth to a daughter named Matilde.
–
Gunta admits that she feels very good as a mother, although not everything always comes together, as she might like, but, as Gunta herself says, she likes what she does and how it comes together, because the child grows smiling, sleeps and develops.
–
When Gunta is told to share her feelings about being a mother for the first time forty years ago, she says: “Your life experience and the fact that you look at things a little differently now definitely helps. I don’t stress as much as I would if it had been otherwise.
–
I am grateful to have people around me who could help with my experience and advice. I can only admire mothers raising children alone. It’s all doable, but it’s not an easy job. ”
–
Asked if Gunta has faced the prejudices of others that she is expecting her baby only now, Baško answers: “I think we become moms when we have to become such.
–
People will always say something, it’s up to me how much I hear it and what I take from it and what I do with it.
–
Yes, I am forty and I am happy to be a mom! ”
–
It is interesting that Gunta’s daughter Matilde has already experienced her first big basketball game, because in Gunta’s farewell basketball game, the baby was already in the athlete’s pussy. The athlete herself admits that for this reason she was a little worried about how the child would feel, as well as she tried to protect herself, although sport is a sport and nothing can ever be predicted in it.
–
When asked whether Baško wishes her daughter a career as a professional athlete, the woman answers as follows: “The life of a professional athlete is not the easiest of them.
–
Of course, if she meets and she wants to do it, I will not forbid it. If she is, I will be the biggest supporter. Children grow and develop for us, but so I would say – you definitely have to be a professional athlete, I will definitely not do that.
