<p>Tournament season will test you — your schedule, your patience, your wallet, and your gas tank. So this year, I brought in reinforcements. I’m sitting down with a seasoned sports mom who’s been through it <em>all</em> — multiple kids, multiple sports, different schools, travel ball, high school pressure, and everything in between. We’re talking real-life decisions: when to specialize, how to choose the right team and culture, what it looks like when your kids go different directions, and how to navigate the politics without losing your mind. This isn’t just about surviving weekends at the field — it’s about raising kids who can advocate for themselves, stay focused, and still find joy in the process… while you learn how to keep <em>yourself</em> in the mix too.Game Plan Gems:</p><ul><li>Let your kids have a voice — but you still have veto power</li></ul><ul><li>Culture matters just as much as talent and opportunity</li></ul><ul><li>Travel ball is a commitment — know what you’re signing up for</li></ul><ul><li>Teach your kids to communicate with coaches early</li></ul><ul><li>You don’t have to join the chaos to support your child</li></ul><ul><li>Being a sports mom is a role — not your whole identity</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This one is for the moms in the bleachers, the carpool lines, and the hotel lobbies.
