Mahomes' Iceland Adventure: Couch Surfing & Playbook Study
1 Feb
Summary
- Mahomes lived in Iceland for ten days, sleeping on a couch.
- He studied his playbook intensely during his stay in Iceland.
- His girlfriend pursued a professional soccer career in Iceland.
In July 2017, a few months after being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes spent ten days in Iceland. This trip occurred while his girlfriend, Brittany Matthews, pursued a professional soccer career there. During their stay, Mahomes, unbeknownst to their hosts, diligently studied his playbook, even sleeping on a couch due to his size.
Mahomes' presence in Iceland was a surprise to locals, including the president of the soccer team Brittany joined, who did not recognize him as a star. He and Brittany explored the country, engaging in typical tourist activities. Brittany's own soccer aspirations in Iceland were short-lived, as she was not signed by the team. She later returned to Kansas City with Mahomes, and both have since become prominent figures in the city's sports scene, notably with the Kansas City Current women's soccer team.
