Mom Sonya’s Passion Could Dictate Stephen Curry’s Post-Retirement Plan After Wife’s Big Reveal

Stephen Curry has his hands full going into the next NBA season. The Golden State Warriors are relying on him as the epicentre to erupt one final glory push. For the two-time MVP, it’s something he desires strongly. At 37, Curry has played most of the basketball that is in him. Soon, he will be bombarded with questions like LeBron James. When is the day the greatest shooter retires?

But the question that should be asked is how he plans on spending the hours where he was usually engaged. The Warriors icon is already involved in a number of business ventures. However, giving back to the community is always on his agenda. In particular, Curry wants to empower the next generation.

Recently, his wife, Ayesha Curry, made a surprising claim about him wanting to be a high school coach if the NBA dream didn’t work out. But even though it has, Stephen Curry isn’t closing the doors to being a coach one day.

“I mean, anything’s possible. I just know uh yeah, it was definitely something that uh my mom was an educator growing up, so I kind of understood how to connect with people. Seeing people, you know, learn a skill or learn anything really, and that joy that comes with accomplishment, that always got me going. So, who knows what the future holds,” he said in an interview with NBC Sports.

Although Curry found himself on a different path, he admits, “I would have been happy being a high school coach,”. That side of him comes from his mother, Sonya Curry. The entrepreneur helped her three children practice their faith. Moreover, Sonya Curry also served as president for Christian Montessori School of Lake Norman, a school she founded to create a learning environment.

Having seen her efforts up close, Stephen Curry is convinced he could have connected with kids well. He understands how vital such figures are early in life. However, although not a coach, Curry has done ample to help children.

Stephen Curry is no less than a coach

Philanthropy is something Stephen Curry practices with full force. It’s easy to start with basketball. The four-time NBA champion annually hosts his camp in partnership with Under Armour. The camp invites some of the elite high school and college prospects to work out with Curry. He not only works hands-on but also offers his wisdom to prepare them for the NBA challenges.

Furthermore, his works with Eat.Learn.Play is a wave of its own. Through the organization, he and Ayesha Curry aim to touch young children’s lives through education, nutritious meals, and an open playground.

As part of it, the couple has committed to hosting meal drives and various other events. Under Armour has continued to show support for Curry in his endeavors. They often partner up with the athlete in offering aid. According to a recent report, the brand, in collaboration with Eat.Learn.Play and the Curry brand have invested $3.6 million to provide high-quality sports programs for Oakland Student-Athletes.

This is just one of the things Curry has offered to the future generation.

From rebuilding playgrounds to helping out to raising $50 million to provide further resources, Curry and his wife Ayesha, are on a mission. They want to create a sustainable environment that allows kids to reach their full potential. And although they have done a lot, the couple believes this is just the beginning.

So even if Stephen Curry doesn’t step into the shoes of a basketball coach, he’s already done so much more. What are your thoughts on seeing the Baby Face Assassin as a coach? Let us know your views in the comments below.
