U.S. pro soccer captain and father shares his personal bedwetting experience to help normalize childhood nighttime accidents and empower the next generation to Never Stop Dreaming

CHICAGO , June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tim Ream, U.S. pro soccer captain, has teamed up with Goodnites®, the #1 Nighttime Underwear¹ brand to share, for the first time, his childhood experience with bedwetting. A respected leader on and off the field, Ream is also a dedicated father who is using his platform to help support families and children. Goodnites is joining forces with Ream to uplift children experiencing bedwetting with confidence, courage, and positivity, sending a powerful message that nighttime accidents are a normal part of childhood development rather than a barrier to your potential.

</p> </div> <p> <b>Why This Partnership Matters: One in Six Children Experience Bedwetting<br /></b>Bedwetting<span> is common, affecting approximately 1 in 6 children, ages 3–12, yet many children who experience it can feel isolated and ashamed. Ream experienced </span>bedwetting<span> until age 11, but it didn't stop him from becoming a professional athlete competing at the highest level of international soccer.</span></p> <p>"I'm partnering with Goodnites because I know firsthand that bedwetting doesn't define you or your future," said <person>Tim Ream</person>. "It was tough, but it taught me resilience. Today, as a father, I want to share my story to let children know they are not alone. Bedwetting is not a reflection of who they are and doesn't have to keep them from going after their dreams."</p> <p> <b>Campaign Details: <i>"To My Younger Self"</i></b> <br />Ream is featured in the brand's new multimedia campaign chronicling his journey from a child navigating bedwetting to a celebrated professional athlete and emphasizes that even though bedwetting feels overwhelming when you're little, it does not define who you will become. <person>Watch Ream</person> speak to his younger self here: <a href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4703503-1&h=3158722790&u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FZKsPcxo8Xl4&a=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FZKsPcxo8Xl4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ZKsPcxo8Xl4</a>.</p> <p>"What <person>Tim Ream</person> says to his younger self matters because it's real.
