[edit]

Born and raised in Frisco, Texas, Shaw, her older sister, and younger brother were born to their Vietnamese-born mother, Ann and Black father, Lance.[3] As a two-year-old, she would try playing while attending her older sister's games.[4]

Jaedyn had goals of becoming a professional soccer player from a young age. Her parents sacrificed a lot in order to support Jaedyn's goal. Her mother noted, "Just being really transparent, there was a year or two where all four of us lived in a one bedroom apartment to be able to afford for her to go out of town, out of state, out of the country. My husband and I set our lives on the backburner - no vacations, no honeymoon, no nothing - in order for us to be able to handle the financial burdens that came with the opportunity. I knew this was God's purpose for her so a lot of it, as well, came with trainers, elite trainers, that charged us nothing because they knew she was so special. They knew that she would eventually build their business rather than take away from it. It was a mix of a lot of people's kindness and a mix of our sacrifices, financially."[4] For part of her youth, she lived two blocks away from Toyota Stadium where the United States Soccer Hall of Fame resides and FC Dallas plays and has many memories of the stadium.[5]
