In honor of Valentineās Day, I wanted to put together a few things that I love about being a sports mom.
Did I ever picture myself pulling a wagon full of fans, but also blankets, and first aid kits and snacks and about 150 other items every single weekend from April through November? No. But they love it and so do I.
I will quickly share one story that is etched on my heart forever. During a championship basketball game, Connor was playing his heart out and it was a *close* one. When that buzzer went off to end the game, Connor looked right over at me in the stands and came running full speed. I thought for sure he was hurt or was about to be sick ā¦I actually couldnāt tell what was going on right away. He gave me the biggest, sweatiest, strongest hug and said āI canāt believe it! Iām so happy!ā Truth be told, it was just a rec league, and they donāt even give trophies to the winners. But he was so proud of himself and that beeline over to me is something a sports parent never forgets.
