Golden State Warriors icon Stephen Curry is overjoyed to watch his 11-year-old daughter, Riley, exhibit such passion and skill in sports. Riley has shown a particular interest in volleyball, according to the NBA legend, and her enthusiasm and determination are already reminiscent of her father’s own drive on the basketball court.

Curry noted that after introducing his daughters to several sports, Riley discovered her genuine interest in volleyball. Her willingness to attend sessions and her continual dribbling and passing of the ball about the home have shown the youngster’s interest for the sport.

“For the most part, I’ve introduced pretty much every sport to all of them,” Curry told ESPN. “But Riley, she’s super into volleyball right now, and a light bulb went off, actually this year, where she’s excited to go to practice and dribbling or passing the ball around the house and all that type of stuff.”

Riley’s passion for the sport has clearly sparked Curry’s interest, and he is eager to see her achieve her aspirations. He expressed his excitement at seeing in his daughter the same amount of attention and commitment that he sees in his own job.

“To see that light bulb go off and that level of focus, that you see a little bit of yourself in,” he said, “And trying to encourage that as much as possible.”

Stephen Curry and his wife, Ayesha, as well as their two older children, Ryan and Canon, are no strangers to sports skill. Riley’s love for volleyball, on the other hand, shines out at the time.

While the interests of the younger children are still developing, Curry is optimistic that they will discover their own pathways in due time. He is looking forward to supporting and cultivating their interests, much as he does Riley’s volleyball endeavors.

“It’s sometimes chaotic when you’re moving through the public eye, if you will, and trying to block out some of the crazy noise that comes your way,” Curry shared. “But for the most part, [we’re] very supportive of what each other is doing and our respective careers and how we balance both of those with being present parents and juggling the responsibility of being there for all three of our beautiful kids.”
