Who Is Christine Sinclair Married To

Christine Sinclair stands in the dark in her hotel bathroom in Elma, N.Y., and stares into the mirror, straight-faced—her best attempt at creepy. The bathroom door is open a crack. Seconds later, an unsuspecting Mana Shim, Sinclair’s Portland Thorns teammate in the National Women’s Soccer League and her roommate on this road trip, walks through the front door. Before Shim can flick the light on, she catches the reflection of Sinclair’s eyes in the mirror. Shim shrieks and runs out of the room. The running and screaming continue down the hall until a laughing Sinclair emerges from her hiding place.

Sitting in an oceanside hotel in Santa Monica, Calif., Sinclair laughs as this story is recounted to her. “Yeah, we have fun,” she says, smiling. Team Canada is here for a pre-World Cup training camp. Sinclair’s brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail. She’s wearing black Umbro shorts, purple Nike runners and a red Team Canada zip-up. There’s a slight curve on the bridge of her nose, but it’s her piercing blue eyes you notice first. They’re startling. The 31-year-old is lankier in person than she seems on TV. Asked whether the public will ever see the other side of Canada’s captain—the fun one her teammates talk about—Sinclair pauses for a second. “No,” she deadpans. Then she laughs.

Sinclair started this interview a little stiff. She didn’t smile when she shook hands. She didn’t want to sit by the pool and chat. She looked for the closest seat so she could sit down and get this done. But 10 minutes in, her arms are moving as she talks, she’s smiling and even laughing. She has relaxed a little bit, just as she has grown more comfortable in her role as Canada’s greatest soccer player ever, though that took much longer. But the shy girl who kept her eyes down in the hallway in high school now knows she’s one of the world’s best soccer players. Talent, hard work and success have changed Christine Sinclair, allowed her to be more confident, helped her to open up—she’s never been so comfortable telling us that we’ll never know her life story, for example. And as she nears the final chapter of an incomparable career, ahead of this home World Cup, Sinclair is in peak form and knows more than ever the impact she can have on soccer in Canada.
