Captain, Leader, Mother | The Comeback From Pregnancy | Sara’s Story

136 caps. First Icelandic woman to win the Champions League. 6 time Icelandic Footballer of the Year. 2 time Icelandic Sportsperson of the Year. ⁣

Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir has done it all. But over the last year she's taken on her biggest challenge yet - attempting to play for her country at the Euros, less than 8 months after having a baby. We followed her every step of the way.

Welcome to COPA90 Stories, a brand new channel exploring the greatest footballing stories from across the planet.

Wow the amount of hard work she has put in to getting back on to the pitch is no joke. Also the fact that she is just doing what she feels is best for her and not listening to what everyone else is saying or norms is just super inspiring

[davidmorgan]

It’s crazy that getting pregnant and giving birth is probably the most natural thing in the world yet I’ve never really thought about it when it comes to footballers 🤷🏼‍♂️ great mini documentary 👌🏻

That baby’s going to come out of the womb and instantly score a hat-trick.

Amazing athlete and great content, hope we see more episodes on women's football

[edsmith]

This is amazing. Was great to see Sara fulfil her goal of playing in the Euros last month. What a story

[danrookwood]

Do both. What an inspiration. Great story, well told.

[OlafderPirat]

Very interesting aspect of the game I have not given much thought to before. As always copa90 bringing the most interesting content in football.

Incredible insight! And what a warrior!

[PolishSlinky]

This channel creates some of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

Icl, that is the definition of determination while carrying a child in your womb and still so that mentality.

I think is easier for female athletes to give birth than for regular women. With all the training the body is more “capable” in the muscular part of giving birth.

I just imagine if a male soccer player have a baby with a female soccer player how would the baby be in soccer

She takes her club to court over maternity pay. This is the same club that funds a huge loss making enterprising that is women's football. It's like suing the charity that gives you money. It'll teach these clubs the lesson that no good deed goes unpunished.
