Kenyan actress and digital content creator Jackie Matubia has come to the defense of her daughter after online critics raised concerns about the early morning swimming training sessions.
The actress addressed the issue after sharing clips on her Instagram page of her daughter undertaking the early morning swimming training, as people expressed concern about the current chilly weather.
Critics have accused Jackie of exposing her daughter to unnecessary physical strain, cold-related illnesses and excessive parental pressure.
Others have praised her for her commitment and discipline towards her daughter achieving the best in sports.
In defending her daughter from the critics, Jackie, stated, “Before the parenting experts arrive in my DM, please save your concerns about my child swimming at 5 a.m. in cold water. She is not complaining. She trains hard because champions aren’t made in comfort zones.”
She added that the sessions are conducted under professional guidance, with coaches ensuring the child well-being, and my role is to support her dreams, not limit them because they’re uncomfortable to other people.
Jackie Matubia, defending her daughter, said she will stand by her until her dream comes true.
