Brief

Chad Ochocinco claims he purposefully selected the mothers of his eight children (with seven women) for athletic genes, conducting informal 'combine' tests—asking about track/cheer/volleyball experience, checking ankles, and staging gym/basketball trials and Dave & Buster's outings. @sweatystartup adds 'Genetics is everything,' advising bloodwork, family history, and repeating with one partner.

Why it matters

Chad Ochocinco says he chose the mothers of his eight children (with seven women) based on athletic ability, conducting an informal 'personal combine'—asking if they ran track/cheered/played volleyball, checking their ankles, taking them to the gym and playing one‑on‑one basketball, and even using Dave & Buster's to evaluate them.

Key details

  • @sweatystartup frames this as 'Genetics is everything' and advises additional screening—bloodwork, family medical history, meeting/golfing with her father—and recommends having as many children as possible with the same partner.

Genetics is everything.

You should take it a step further and get bloodwork, family medical history, golf with her father.

But then make as many as you can with the same person.

Chad Ochocinco, who has 8 children with 7 women, says he chose their mothers based on athletic ability

“It wasn’t about having a woman that’s fine, look a certain way, got to be a certain color, a certain complexion, hair, and all this stuff that just didn’t matter. I needed athletes. I wanted athletes”

“You look at the kids. You look at the pedigree that I have created. It was all orchestrated. I told those that I dealt with during that time, ‘Did you run track in high school, did you cheer, did you do volleyball. Let me check your ankles.’ I always wanted to check women’s ankles because you have to understand, if I want athletes, the number one foundation for an elite athlete in any sport is your footwork. And if she had bad ankles, there’s no way I could procreate with you”

“She had no idea she was going through my own personal combine. We went to Dave & Buster’s. Why are we doing this. Why are we playing these games. Why are you taking me to the gym with you. Why are we playing one-on-one in basketball. I’m trying to understand and make sure that I am procreating with someone that is athletic”
