Expect all women’s domestic games to have a different atmosphere this week. Why, you ask? Because Sunday, May 11, marks Mother’s Day 2025, adding a heartfelt layer to every matchup. While women’s leagues across the board will be celebrating players, coaches, and staff in unique ways, the NWSL appears to be leading the charge. That’s evident from the heartwarming gift Racing Louisville veteran Arin Wright received—from none other than her adorable son!

It was shared by the Lavenders just before their Friday night’s match week 8 clash, where they’ll be hosting Gotham FC at Lynn Family Stadium. Being a captain of Louisville, it’s obvious Wright dons her captain’s armband. And it’s something that even her family takes pride in, but perhaps none more than her five-year-old son Grady.

In fact, to mark the occasion of Mother’s Day—and to honor his mom—the toddler decided to borrow her captain’s armband and add his own personal touches. Grady took a sketch pen and drew what appeared to be Wright, himself, and a heart. On the other side, he wrote a short message for the defender that read, “Love you.”

The gesture quickly caught the eye of Racing Louisville, who didn’t hesitate to share it on their social media, along with a caption that read, “The cutest🥹”—a sentiment that, no doubt, echoed everyone’s feelings, considering how adorable and thoughtful the gesture was.

Aside from Racing and other fans approving the gesture, Arin Wright herself gave a special commendation to her beloved son. She shared the post on her Instagram stories, also writing a caption alongside it that read, “This one means a lot 🫶🏻.” You bet it does and boy, does it feel good to be recognized and receive such touching presents, especially from your loved ones.

And if you are thinking that this was the only gesture that the toddler was involved in, think again. Because little Grady collaborated with her mother’s team to do something else that won hearts.

Racing Louisville prepares a heartwarming gesture for their players!

On the occasion of Mother’s Day week, Racing Louisville announced setting up a free card crafting station in their BlueOval SK Fan Zone during the game night vs Gotham FC. With this, everyone, especially the kids, will be able to craft their own Mother’s Day card. And among those who joined in on the celebration was Arin Wright’s son also created one for his superstar mom.

Heart-melt alert! It was yet another adorable gesture from Grady, who decorated a yellow card with loads of colorful stickers. The card also has an adorable sketch of what seems to be Grady and his mother standing on a beautiful rainbow. “Arin Wright’s son, Grady, is ready for Mother’s Day. Now it’s your turn 💌,” wrote Racing Louisville FC as they shared a carousel of pictures, which included one of Grady holding up the card he had made.

Well, little Grady has already figured out how to celebrate Mother’s Day Weekend. Why don’t you share with us how you plan on showing appreciation for your mother this year?
