DO
BOTH!

Following Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir’s nine-month journey where she gave birth to her first child and returned to elite-level sport after just five months, we hosted a special premiere of her “Do Both” documentary last night in Lyon, France. The event hosted family, friends, along with her teammates from the Olympique Lyonnais women’s team as they witnessed the first ever screening. The 12-minute documentary compiled over a nine-month period gives unparalleled access into Sara’s journey, insights into her training while pregnant, her specialist programs and the mental challenges she encountered along the way while maintaining her career as a professional athlete for Olympique Lyonnais and the Icelandic national team. Be sure to watch the documentary for yourself!

“I’ll be forever thankful that my journey to motherhood has been captured, to inspire others, to remind myself of the challenges I overcame and to show we can break down barriers and not be limited as a female athletes. We are capable or so much more. I’m grateful for the support of my family and friends, and of course my partners at PUMA, who have all supported me as I prepared to welcome my son and return to playing football. I know not everyone has been able to tread the same path, and I hope the documentary can act as a universal truth that, as women and mothers, you do not have to choose between having a family and your career. You can do both.”
